Thank you Lois and bluestone for your replies. To clarify a little I should let you know that I was feeling some better last summer but had started taking a downward turn in the fal. In Dec. recieved news that I had breast cancer. In January I had a lumpectomy and MammoSite radiation therapy(5 day, twice a day internal radiation). It is after the surgery and radiation that has sent me into this "episode". I am sure some of the fatigue may be from that, but most of the people that had surgery and treatment around the time I did are well on their way to returning to normal activity and I am far from that.

I should also say that I have been having a droopy eyelid and have had problems with my vision since 2000. I had an Aide's pupil that caused one of my pupils to stay dialated. Neuro-opthamologist said it was not dangerous and would resolve itself in one year. Well, 7 years later, the pupil has returned to normal size in light, but it is slow to react in dim light, and doesn't fully dialate. Opthamolgist that I see now doesn't worry about it because it will dialate with drops. But when I am in dim light, my vision gets really blurry and strained. I have glasses, but some days I can see clear and on others I can't see anything without them and some days can't see with them.

My medical oncologist was the first to mention mg to me. He asked if I had trouble swallowing and I said that I used to but had an endoscopy in 2005. Gastronentrologist stretched my esophogus and I don't have much trouble now, but sometimes I tire out while eating. My husband will look at me and say are you all right? And I say, I'm just resting. Anyway, I really would like to finally have some sort of diagnosis for all my problems, but from reading, mg and it's treatments sounds scary.

Thanks again for your prompt info.
