i have had really bad dropping eyelids for at least a year and longer. i would get up in the morning and they would sag into the eye. they stayed constantly irritated and puffy.
since i have been on cowden, now for about a week, i have noticed that when i get up in the morning my eyes do not look nearly as bad. in fact i look awake!!!
i don't know what's happening but the eyelid appears to be lifting.

Wow, that's encouraging! I have the same problem. Keep us posted as to your progress with it. It didn't happen to me on the Cowden Protocol, but I only was on it for a few months or so.

This also happened with me. I have been on Cowden for about one month. Did the Cowden protocol get anybody well?

I personally know someone who at the age of 17 got MG.
He had his thymus gland removed at Northwestern Hospital and totally RECOVERED.
The thymus gland is where our defense cells go to become T cells.
Now he has to take a LITTLE steroids the rest of his life, but he was CURED.
Whatever pathogen he encountered (likely at a 5 star dude ranch his family went to) hit him very fast.
MG is extremely rare in young people.
I WONDER if removing the thymus gland would help cure lyme disease too.
Halt T cell production?

droopy eyelid sent off bell here too.... have you been tested for Myasthenia Gravis ????

anyway, the test is labs for anit-acetylcholine antibodies... may be worth looking up.
