Just started listening to your podcast. My symptoms started 8/5/17 and it took more than 3 years to get diagnosed. I hear a lot of stories about people who had symptoms start light, but mine was like a light switch. One day I went to bed feeling normal and the next morning I struggled to breathe, was severely dizzy, couldn’t keep my eyes open, couldn’t stay awake, could hardly do anything. I would have better days but it was pretty much like that until I got on mestinon. So many doctors, family, others told me it was stress. I even went to Mayo Clinic twice. I couldn’t work, I couldn’t drive without nearly killing myself/others. I also have a lot of other health issues, I’ve been immune compromised since birth, history of severe asthma, chronic migraines, and others. I’m double-seronegative MG, which not all doctors even believe is a “real” thing, but having a thymectomy and taking mestinon have saved my life. I haven’t listened to all the episodes yet, but if you haven’t spoken to anyone who’s had some of the difficulties I have, I’d be glad to share.

Glad to hear someone talking about it

My wife sent me a link to your podcast. I'll be listen from now on to get other peoples thoughts and treatments. I was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis around 18 months ago. My symptoms started with double vision that would happen every morning but clear up after 15-30 minutes or so. As time went on it got longer and longer. While this was happening to me my wife had surgery and severe complications and almost died. The stress and worrying about her made my symptoms go into overdrive. Once she was better then we started to find out what was going on with me. Finally after seeing 4 eye doctors the last doctor had blood work done that's when we found out. My levels were 4.4 when normally its around .3, .4. I've tried 2 different medications with no signs of improvement. I've been having IVIG treatment the last 4 months 3 days in a roll 5 hours each day. As of now I have noticed any improvement in all honesty I believe my symptoms have worsen since starting the IVIG. I have 2 months left of IVIG infusions then I don't know what will be next. The sickness and pain caused from the IVIG is 10 times worse the MG. Hopefully I'm able to get something that will help.
