So the story goes like this. 9 years ago arrived home from work and could feel a little weakness in the legs and arms. Exited my truck to bring in the trash cans from alley (lived in joliet Illinois at the time) and pick up cans walk 5 feet and immediately feel to the ground.I waited about 30 seconds and got back up and tried to go up a 2 inch step with right foot, no good used left foot, was able to proceed. I then made it to my back door and tried to go up a 1 inch step and again immediately feel down. I called for my wife after calling her 2 times she came out. I told her I couldn't get inside. She asked me what do I want her to do. I said to atleast roll me into back porch and call 911. Ambulance arrives and they put me in back. Then all of a sudden it was hard for me to breathe. I started to cry cause my son was only 3 months old. They pushed up the back of the gaurney and that help. Arrived at hospital and did several test. Blood was one ekg.eeg and one they stuck pins up and down the muscles in both legs and arms (that one hurt the worsed. After that they couldn't figure out what was wrong. They let me out on Christmas eve. I then saw my Primary Doctor he refered me to a local Neuro which couldn't find anything then he refered me to a myasthinia gravis specialist at loyola. He did diffrent test that gave me the diagnosis 9 years ago was see him intil 2009 when I moved to northern California and each primary doctor just refilled the mestinon with no other meds.
