My symptoms are pretty mild, in comparison to some. Mine started out with one drooping eye lid, then two. Then I started slurring my speech, and it eventually would get to the point where I couldn't swallow. There have been a couple of times when my legs collapsed, and my arms have felt close.
That was as far as it ever got. I looked up my symptoms online, and when I went to the doctor I asked him to look into it (I had every single symptom on there, so I was fairly confident). We did the blood work, which came back very positive for the antibodies and I was prescribed mestinon right then. I then got sent to a neurologist to physically confirm my diagnosis and that's when I got on prednisone. It's pretty much completely controlled now, and the only thing I judge consistently is an overall sense of weakness/tiredness.
