I'm not sure how long I had MG before I was diagnosed. I had several years of rehab from a car accident, and a couple of Back surgeries. Trying to do the rehab was horrible. I kept feeling like was was weakening rather than improving. I thought because I have bi-lateral nerve damage, it was just the nerves getting inflamed, or worse. I then started to have problems with swallowing, so I told my doctor about all the new stuff that was happening, and she was on the ball, and got me to the neuro.
I actually thought my Neuro was full of bunk, and was way off, as the only thing I could find on MG at that time was Ocular, and up until them, I hadn't had any problems with my site. Since then, many many times.
I was diagnosed through a tensilon, and was sero-neg at first, but last year tested again, and was positive. I've was diagnosed in 2004, but believe I've had a certan degree of MG for many many years before that.
It's a very complicated disease.
