Jackieinbama: I am SharonT from Milton, Fla. You are the nearest person to me that I have seen on these posts. I was diagnosed with MG at UAB in Birmingham by a group of wonderful neuromuscular disease specialists. It took me 5 months to be diagnosed which is quick according to these posts. I have good days and bad days too. I can no longer work as an Icu nurse and am now getting SSD as of this month. However, My longterm disability at work is trying to say I can work parttime and that is a joke. I can't even walk 50 feet on a good day without getting severely short of breath and have to use a WC or scooter in stores. My neck muscles get very tired when sitting for long periods too. When I get very tired the double vision gets more frequent too. It is very hard to explain this to people who never see you or do and say "Oh, you look good and healthy." Wish you luck in getting a diagnosis. SharonT
