Thanks for the for the encouragement. I have a small confession to make though. I have had to learn the hard way about rushing into a dx.

that is what happened with the myasthenia. I freaked out when they mentioned the word MG and the dx ended up being the wrong dx and i am paying for that dearly now (fortunately though the effects of the symptomatic drug that i was on will not permantently harm me!) But withdrawl is a

(look up in the speech bubble to see my thoughts
I wanted answers so bad, for why i felt so weird, that i found out about the disease and then was so in tune to my body that the little things seemed like bigger things than they actually were and then it went from there and was dx (incorrectly) with MG.
I was determined not to have that attitude again when i was going through all this. and that is part of the reason that i got a 2nd opinion. I wanted a chance to start over with a new neuro that wouldn't have preconcieved ideas about me so that we could get to the bottom of the doubble vision issue so that i could go on with life!
I am hoping so much that the origional neruo was right about the fact that i'm going through a lot of withdrawl symptoms from the drug that i was on (at such high doses) for the disease i didn't have and that once this is all over with (I get off of the drug) then things will start to return to normal.

NORMAL!!!

WHAT IS THAT?????
