Welcome aboard, this forum has very good advice and moral support it has helped me a lot...

I've been diagnosed back in 2008 I had a lot twitching in both eyes and left was drooping quite a bit but never had double vision after a while it went dormant and seemed to be under control, kept seeing my Neuro every 6 months and everything seemed fine, I refused to take any meds...

In Feb 2015 I thought I had a bad cold so I went to see my GP and as usual they prescribe you antibiotics, he knew I had Myasthenia and I wasn't aware to be very careful about prescribing certain antibiotics and ended up taking one that I wasn't suppose to and started me in a crisis!!! but as time went by I never suspected I was in a CRISIS...as time kept on going by I was getting worse so he kept giving other types of antibiotics... It got so bad I couldn't speak anymore nor eat or swallow, had a hard time holding up my head and very soar neck and started having a hard time breathing!!!

In mid April it got so bad I could barely breath, eat or swallow all I was eating is jello I couldn't drink water without choking I started losing weight...my breathing got so bad that is when I decided to admit myself to ER, my wife had to drive me in...I couldn't speak anymore and barely breath she had to do all the talking for me nor could I stand up she had to wheelchair me in...I stayed in the hospital for 8weeks and was off work for 10 months, I'm back to work now part time, I'm getting better weekly.

I'm not trying to scare you but don't do the same error I did...don't take this lightly and tell yourself it'll be OK! Get yourself a good Neuro and listen to him or her, get a list of MEDS to avoid taking and make sure your GP is up to par with your condition and take it day by day...

I'm now stable and have gained back my weight, strenght and eating is better than before being ill...I'm still medicated and doing a plasma exchange weekly.

I must say that I'm feeling as good as before, I still have some facial numbness and speach slur when I get tired or push myself a little to much, you have to reprogram yourself and change your habits and life style...in other words CHILL, LOTS of rest will make you feel a lot better.

Don't worry and listen to your body you'll be fine, I wish you all the best, don't let my story scare you theres no 2 cases the same, just don't do what I did and tell yourself I'll be OK and wait to the point that your over your head deep in a crisis, now that I got to know my body I listen to it!!!

I wish all the best
