Hi Wittesea I don't have a lot of time to post but wanted to get this info to you,

Gosh your symptoms mimick many of the ones I had!

I had double vision, wiggley eyes, blurry vision, weakness, autonomic problems, B12 deficiency....and the list goes on.

After my first double vision, I continuously had a feeling in my left cheek of numbness and tingling like I had had a stroke.

First I was dx with B12 Deficiency. After about a year I was dx with MG. although I took massive B vitamins, this tingling and weakness never went away. Eventually my face looked very much like a MG or parkinsons face, very droopy with pitosis in the right eye. I refused MG meds as I found most people that went on the drugs only progressed...I never could take meds and figured it would kill me to do so.

I kept reading and finally someone pointed me to Celiac Disease. It is an autoimmune disease with strong connections to other autoimmune diseases such as MG, sjogrens, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.

I was tested for Celiac Disease (CD) against my primary doctors wishes as she felt I was looking for a disease. I tested positive much to my primary and neurologist surprise.

If you have been tested please do NOT think you are free and clear.

Testing only rules in the disease. 90% of primary, neuro's and gastro's do not know how to test or what to look for according to some of the top Celiac Doctors in the world. They are just getting the word out this year about the disease and the devastation that can occur if not diagnosed in time.

Many people who test negative go on the gluten free diet anyhow and find amazing results. If you read the original Braintalk there is a thread with many people stating how sick they were and how much better they are now.

It took me 15 months on a gluten free diet and I am just noticing the most amazing things. I actually got worse for awhile but now my energy is returning. My brain is becoming organized again. My eyes rarely droop.

All this was actually caused by malabsorption from malnutrition. There actually was a diet on MG that almost mimicks the GF diet. I had read it but ignored it at the time, maybe because I was so weak and brainfogged but now I realize that many diseases are actually caused by what we eat.

Please don't let yourself get as bad as I was, scroll down to the Gluten Sensitive/Celiac Disease forum, they are great there. http://forums.braintalk2.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13


This is a good place to read up on Celiac Disease and Gluten Sensitive: http://jccglutenfree.googlepages.com/

Good luck, and even if you have heard this before please don't ignore as your symptoms sound too much like mine and I only got worse as the days passed!
