It is interesting. I had never heard of Blepharospasm before this consultation. Naturally I have researched it since. Normal level of blinking is 10-20 per minute. Mine is up around 60 per minute, so as far as that goes the specialist is correct.

However I can find NO article anywhere that states that blinking can cause diplopia. Indeed all the comments are that the treatments for blepharospasm cause diplopia, ptosis etc. And the only treatment seems to be Botox every 2 months until it stops working, then nothing.

On the other hand I did find several articles about MG mimicking blepharospasm, and since I have symptoms of fatigable muscles, in arms and legs, I am still not convinced.

I think the chances of having 2 "rare" conditions surfacing at the same time, whilst possible, is unlikely. Especially when 1 of those rare conditions can adequately explain all the symptoms.
