August,
Please do as Annie said and start a new thread, In the meantime, let me say this. You will most likely will have very good success with your symptoms. When I was first diagnosed, I had all your symptoms plus Some problems speaking, and trouble holding my arms over my head for very long. When I got the word from my Nuro that I had MG, He put me on Mestinon. Most of my symptoms disappeared in 1 day. I called him the man with the magic pill.
Your Eye dropping my be the most troublesome to correct, but it can be helped. Be sure to go to a Nuro, not a GP.
Look to hear more from you. This bunch can help.
FREDH.
