PTOSIS QUESTION
The more I look at my eyelids sometimes I wonder. Have people noticed a difference with how long they need to rest their eyelids if they pick up the ptosis earlier vs too late ?

This is an interesting question that I could not locate any research about. Your statement “pick up the ptosis earlier vs too late,” do you mean when people initially developed the symptom ptosis, or how long it takes people to notice when they experience ptosis before they decide to rest?

The latter. Not only rest but medicate with Mestinon

Hi there,
If I start feeling extremely fatigued, I pay attention to my eyelids more than normal to see if and how fast the ptosis happens. My fatigue may or may not trigger it. As soon as I notice, I’ll rest and take the Mestinon. If I wait too long and allow my eyelids to really go, it takes longer for me to recover.

Pyridostigmine and a small dose of Prednislone works for me.
