Hi, AlmostEasy.

I think it's quite dangerous to be self-medicating, especially when you don't know exactly what's wrong yet. Also, some of these OTCs interact with each other and could make your situation worse.

I won't even comment on what you should or shouldn't be taking.

You need to see a neurologist to evaluate what's going on. And probably an internist, too. And to fully assess any endocrine/hormone issues, an endocrinologist would be best.

You could ask about having your B12 and D levels tested. Maybe even the celiac disease antibody panel.

There's no way to tell if you have MG. You might have more than one thing going on. You need a smart internist to direct your care and get you to the appropriate specialists.

I hope someone can figure it out for you.
