[QUOTE=neutro;190485]
My potassium and sugar were tested last week and were OK.
QUOTE]

Do others have their potassium levels checked regularly? I get bloods done often because of Azathioprine, but they usually don't monitor my potassium. On my most recent blood test they happened to check it and the levels were a bit below normal which is crazy because I eat about three bananas a day! Is there a link b/w MG and potassium?

Regarding weight gain - I did gain a tiny bit after diagnosis, nothing significant though, went up to a Canadian size 12. I lost that weight (Mom and I went to weight watchers before I got married) and got back down to about an 8. I've since started pred and now I'm probably about a 14 - maybe I could still squish into a generous 12! My face has really swollen over the past month or so though - very annoying!
