Most of us had MG for months to years before diagnosis. MG is so rare, that unless we have classic symptoms of double vision and an eye that won't stay open we get other diagnoses. Some folks here rae still uncertain about the diagnosis as MG (the tiredness and weakness) can be symptoms of many other problems too.

My doctor thought I was just lazy (she was kinder than to say that) and depressed and pushed depression medicine. I was depressed as I couldn't do anything physical to get in shape, her advice.

Eventually an eye specialist diagnosed me as I had the eye problems and sent me to a neurologist.

Post as often as you have a question--all of us are in the dark when we get the diagnosis. I recommend reading some of the websites like webmd, mayo clinic and the myasthenia gravis foundation. The more I learned the better I could help with my own treatment.

Good Luck

Thank you

There is so much to learn and sort through. Many people keep a log med levels, activities, illnesses which up weaknesses. I found myself even after 7 yrs forgetting or downplaying mg when I saw neuro-opth.

As I look back over the 10 years before diagnosis I believe I had mg.
I tired out more than others. I was diagnosis with fibromyalgia .
I also had issues with sleep.
I had to have a good nights sleep.
Then when I was diagnosed everything made more sense.

Thank you Annkemp When I posted this at the beginning/ still in denial phase... Now I can see, like you, how I have probably had this years before diagnosis....everything definitely makes more sense now. thanks again! ;-)
