Yes, there is pain with MG when we over use our muscles, but not necessarily if we be careful and not over do it. It is hard to NOT over do for most of us. I push myself every day to see how much I can do (speaking of muscle strength).

MGers are more likely to get other autoimmune diseases, and some of those cause pain. I have two of those. (Fibro myalgia and arthritis).

Something else to remember is that Mestinon can cause extremely painful muscle cramp, which can leave the muscle sore for days.

My symptoms are constantly changing with MG. For now, though, it is mostly controlled. Earlier this week when a bad weather system went through, my voice was weak, my speech was slured, and I felt like my left leg was dragging when I walked. This is why it important to listen to your body, and have a good neuro that you trust; one who will listen to you.

Thank you Barbel! Do you take prescription for the pain since you have Fibro and arthritis? Or just advil/ or ?

I was just about to delete this post and add to older pain post I found, sorry group ;-) I should have checked first...I've been trying to do that and just forgot.

I take Tylenol as needed for pain. Icey hot, heat, and massages are great for the fibro. Stretches are good for the asteoarthritis in my back. I take ginger, which reduces inflamation. I tried taking lyrica, and cymbolta, but I was too sensitive to the side effects.

Thank you
