Shorty after becoming diagnosed with MG, I was diagnosed with depression. I had never had depression before, so I simply assumed it was the effects of the MG. The MG was new, I had no idea what to expect, and was given very little information as I left my neurologists office except 'don't push yourself'. While not bad advice, it turns out that was perfect advice for nurturing depression. I didn't have the strength to get up and do anything, so I gave in to it and didn't.

Anyway, once I realized what was happening, I pulled myself out of my depression, got up and found a new normal. But the MG has taken a turn for the worse recently and frankly, that's a little depressing. Too, I realize that I have absolutely no idea how to tell the difference between the MG and the depression until I get to a dangerous place with either.

Anyone else had to deal with this? Any suggestions?
