I am a newly diagnosed 57 yr old female also living in Florida. When the temperature gets above 90 I have a lot more weakness. The overcast, rainy weather this month has been a godsend to me. The heat makes all the muscles in my face feel like they have weights hooked to them pulling down. My legs get really heavy and I drag my feet when walking. But my biggest problem has always been diplopia and ptosis. I can feel my eyeballs jerk around off and on all day.

My thymus scan was normal but I would gladly have it out to have a chance to go back to a normal life. I don't think my doctor thinks it is an option for me. I guess my my symptoms are considered mild at this time but, my life has really gotten so much smaller. It is depressing to think this is how it is now and it will likely get worse. I am still hoping for remission. Good luck to Cait, hope you get your thymectomy!
