Thanks, Rach. I wonder how long you went undiagnosed! That was a very good point about getting all of your test results. It's almost funny how doctors don't tell their patients everything. I've had that happen one too many times.

And, no, treatment for a very real illness—as a deficiency is—should not be withheld. What were those doctors taught in medical school? First, do not help?

Perhaps you guys are thinking that I'm going over old ground. But there are lurkers here that might benefit from this information, too.

Unless you've had a severe deficiency, I realize that it's hard to relate. Just like it's hard for someone without MG to relate to that.

What's even more dangerous are the deficiencies that "smolder," aren't as obvious as what I had, and do more damage. Like a gluten sensitivity, without having an outright positive CD antibody test.
