Yes, although not diagnosed with myasthenia, I'm on oxygen at night. I have a CPAP machine for mild sleep apnea, but do not use it as it made my breathing worse. I have been breathless for nearly eighteen months and was sleeping only 2 hours a night before waking up with adrenalin rushes. So my doctor prescribed oxygen. I have all the symptoms of myasthenia, but my EMG tested negative.
