Hi, everyone! Just realized I should have posted to this thread as soon as I joined in order to introduce myself. I had Graves Disease as a young teen, which wasn't diagnosed and treated until age 21. Am now (for the last 5 plus years) hypothyroidic as a result of the partial thyroidectomy (and my age, but we won't go there) and on Synthroid. Was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis in the 1970's, and take Mestinon for it. I'm currently between neurologists, the last two wouldn't accept the original diagnosis of MG (though it was made by one of the premier MG specialists of the 70's), but my GP believes it is MG, and keeps me in Mestinon. Nice to meet you all, and I look forward to a long and fruitful association.
