Ice Test

[Neofate]

Hi, how are you guys?

I'm curious about a result of the "ice test".

When I do the ice test for a few minutes on each eye by itself it has a marked effect of causing whichever eyebrow I am holding the ice over to become lifted, or arched.

I was wondering is this relevant? I know muscles control the eyebrows but I haven't read anything completely specific to a result with the eyebrow lifting as a result of using ice.

If this is something that is indicative of MG then this is a very significant thing for me. If this happens to everyone in the population then not so much.

I thought you guys could shed some light on the matter being the experts.

My eyebrows remain down all the time because I can't hold them up for any length of time. It causes pain between the eyes and in the muscles that hold your eyebrows (forehead) up. That make sense?

Thanks and take care,

I think it is relevant, but it probably isn't enough for a dx. Just one more piece of information to add to the diagnostic puzzle.
