Symptoms of Vit D deficiency include


But I can find no mention of double vision, no mention of fatigable muscle weakness, no mention of hyperventilation, no mention of Mestinon being used as a treatment.

Does anyone here know anything more about Vit D deficiency, and can it mimic MG, as I expect that that is going to be the course that the Neuro takes. I just want to be as prepared as possible.
During one of my exacerbations this year THAT is what my Vitamin D was at. I took the 50,000 once a week for I think 6 weeks. It didn't cause any of my MG symptoms, just made them MUCH worse. As far as I know the Vit D could cause weakness but not sure how much
