I went to another doc to see if they would take me seriously about mg but left very disappointed with all of my health problems being blamed on fibromyalgia. However, he did point out to me that my left eye was lagging behind my right eye when he was having me follow his finger with my eyes. My left eye is the eye that droops and now has Bell’s palsy on. He said that Bell’s palsy wouldn’t cause a true lazy eye like I’m having but didn’t mention anything about mg causing it after he blamed my muscle weakness on fibromyalgia but also in the same appointment said fibromyalgia isn’t a real diagnosis. So anyways he said I need to go to a neuro ophthalmologist. While I wait to get into one of those docs I am curious. Can myasthenia gravis cause a lazy eye?

Hello all! For the past three or so years I’ve been fighting for doctors to take me seriously about looking into MG. I have a lot of symptoms for it but I’m just gonna focus on the facial ones for this post. I’ve had a droopy left eyelid that gets worse the more I do and even had a positive ice pack test. However, in the past few months that whole side of my face has begun to droop. Even the nostril. I got an mri and have Bell’s palsy due to the inflammation of the facial nerve. I’ve had an MRI done previously when it was just my eyelid drooping and there wasn’t any inflammation. I’m just very frustrated because one of my pieces of proof is now over ridden by the Bell’s palsy. Does anyone else have a similar situation or advice?
