We have very similar symptoms. Like you, mine started out as Ocular MG and has generalized to arm and leg weakness. When I am tired I develop ptosis around my right eye brow and my right eye crosses inward (esotropia) which causes double vision (diplopia).
I started taking Pyridostigmine Bromide (Mestinon) in February and it has been a LIFE SAVER :-)
I keep reading on forums that Mestinon doesn't work for diplopia or a crossed eye, but it has for me! It has also really helped with my arm and ankle weakness. I take 60mg 3 x day. Unfortunately, one pill only lasts about 3-4 hours, ugh.
Sometimes, I wonder if I *really* have MG; but the fact that Mestinon works so well is a pretty convincing indicator that I do.
One idea would be to ask your neurologist for a one month supply of Pyridostigmine Bromide (Mestinon). You will know if it is working by just looking in the mirror :-) lol
Please keep us updated :-)
