The optometrist did the ice pack test but didn't say anything about her findings. The next day she called us and said she wanted us to see the plastics guy in their group who specializes in eyelids. He did the ice pack test again, taking before and after pictures, and there was noticeable improvement. He mentioned myasthenia gravis and is referring us to a neuro, who can't get us in until April 30.

Is there anything besides myasthenia gravis that would cause a positive reaction to the ice pack test? We're trying to get an idea of what we're in for, waiting for a diagnosis isn't fun.
