Guest guest Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Hi everyone: Interesting twist to associated disease with RP. 2 years ago I noticed a sudden droop of my left upper eyelid. I saw neurophthalmologist and he was more worried about eye bulging in the right eye. Kinda blew off what I was saying ( we know about that!!) Turns out that I have Myasthenia Gravis and I have not seen it linked with RP anywhere. It is also an autoimmune disease and test results for it were negative for 2 years until just lately. Mestinon is medication that treats this (MG is a neuromucular disease) and it raises my eyelid and increases my upper body strength. Please if anyone developes a drooping eyelid or double vision, please write me right away and will try to help more. Just wanted to throw this out for though since those who know me know I just can't keep quiet if I can help someone. Thanks for letting me post this.
