Those all sound like mg symptoms, especially the order in which your symptoms came. I had muscle aching in my face also, I felt my face cramp up when I was talking and laughing with friends. my face would get tired and achy really easily and start the twitch or quiver.
Choking is a common symptom of mg also due to weak throat muscles. Choking can be extremely scary because not only are the muscles too weak to get the food down, they're also too weak to bring it back up.
general fatigue is said to be a symptom of mg also although I had never experienced it until after my thymectomy. If I had to guess I would say you have mg and it is escalating.
Good luck

I always feel tired vs muscle fatigue. The coking is symptom I would think that you would tell youir doc. It can get serious when the breathing gets involved.

Thank you ladies! :)

Like I said, in the past it has really just been my eyes -which started around March. I couldn't drive for almost a month due to the double vision. I never had ptosis though. I don't know how many with MG get the vision problems without ptosis???

I have wondered off and on if a symptom had been related to MG or if I even really have it due to the fact that I am seronegative. My eye doctor said my eyes are good except for my nearsightedness. He said the muscles looked weak which prompted the initial visit to my doctor. My doctor has another patient with MG and wondered if I could have it. I was already diagnosed with GERD, osteoarthritis, psoriasis, and hpv. He said that autoimmune problems run in packs and also that they seem to be the curse of the ginger...lol

Most of the time, I have written a symptom off to something else. It's really been the last month or so that I have been putting symptoms together and really started to think that they are because of MG.

I have also noticed heat sensitivity. I seem to feel a lot worse when I get overheated. I have developed anxiety due to the severe stress of the events of the last year of my life. I just wish I could get back to feeling normal...lol

I had to meet with my son's teacher and other staff tonight and did major talking. By the time I left, my face muscles were aching pretty bad. I haven't talked for an hour or so now and they feel much better, but the ache is still there.

The choking isn't severe at this point, but I plan to tell my doc of my new symptoms when I see him for my 3 month checkup this month. He said last time that if it progresses, he would probably send me to a neurologist.

Anywho, bless you both! :)

Hi! I am sorry you are feeling bad!!! And yes, all of those sound like MG. For sure see a neuro ASAP. They will be able to help you a lot more then a general doctor. Try to find a neuro muscular spec. and/or someone who knows MG. They will probably send you for some more tests from there. ((hugs))

It sounds like MG progression. Mine started with double vision, then progressed to facial muscles, then swallowing weakness, then neck muscles, then general fatigue, then muscle fatigue. Wishing you better days ahead.

Agree with the rest, all sounds like mg has progressed Fatigue is bad as I can sleep for hours, like my body won't go any further. I also get the choking, please be very careful, I have aspirated a few times.

Welcome. And good luck

I too agree w/the rest. Get to a specialized neuro. Don't take the "choking" on food/drink lightly. You can get aspiration pneumonia from a single event. Try doing what is called a chin-tuck when swallowing. Just lower your chin to your chest. This closes the airway so you are less likely to aspirate. I too suffer anxiety at times due to my symptoms. Often just as I am falling asleep I get jolted awake, racing heart & all that. MD believes it is related to pulmonary issues when I relax enough to fall asleep. Tried & used CPAP for many yrs but in the last few have been unable to tolerate it. I take Ativan as needed.
Good luck in getting a name to what ails you & good treatment.
Keep us updated.
