What Causes Droopy Eye Along With Restricted Movement In Right Leg?

My wife is experiencing droopy left eye, struggles to lift right leg which effects walking, tired, and just had a seizure that lasted less than 10 seconds. Her neurologist said Bells Palsy 6 months ago but now think Myastenia Gravis as the symptoms are now daily, before they would come and go. She is on Mestonin and it helps but her symptoms don t match MG.

Neurologist,  's  Response
Myasthenia presents with fluctuations in weakness droopy eyes which are asymmetrical and diplopia with or without limb weakness
. In your case presence of left Ptopsis right lower limb weakness and seizure points to some intracranial lesion may be at brainstem. Seizure is not a feature of myasthenia gravis.
According to me a neuroimaging of brain with contrast may be done after proper examination by a physician preferably neurologist.
Wish you good health and prompt diagnosis.
