I was told by multiple doctors that I was a poster child for depression to which I replied, "I wasn't aware that depression causes double vision and slurred speech".

One physician and friend of family (in fairness he doesn't specialize in MG) was so adamant that this was all in my head that he challenged me by saying, "well prove it to me and just try an SSRI". I left there feeling so outraged I thought I was going to explode or implode - either would do.

I collected myself and told him at a later date that his assessment couldn't have been further off and his hubris was deplorable. He surprised me and apologized.

Like most of you, a dx for me was much better than the madness of living in fear and uncertainty. For all the undiagnosed patients out there, I send you extra positive energy and hope for answers.
