I developed unilateral ptosis in December 2020. I saw an ophthalmologist who checked for fatigability. Ptosis thought to be due to dehiscence of the levator aponeurosis from its insertion in the eyelid due to age. Had two operations, no further problems until February this year when ptosis developed on other side. AntiACh receptor antibodies positive. Now on 50mg of prednisolone as pyridostigmine not controlling symptoms. Had to reduce pyridostigmine as had two episodes of cardiac syncope, which in the UK, means that you lose your driving licence for six months. One thing that, as a retired doctor, didn’t want to become is an ‘interesting case’. I am lucky to just have ocular myasthenia and am amazed by the resilience of my fellow posters on this site.
