Default Hi Susan!

Hi Susan!

I have also experienced a tingling, numb feeling in my fingers, toes, arms, legs. In fact, I have had that for YEARS - years before I was diagnosed.

I have no idea if it MG related, because my mother also experiences it (and she has not been diagnosed with MG, but does have alot of my symptoms)........

My main symtpoms were:
extreme weakness and fatigue
problems swallowing, breathing, walking, etc
"wobbly" gait
eyes go off focus and I can't see + my eyes hurt right b/4 I have to go in for more IV IG or the other
fingers stiffen up and will not bend
weak to the point that I couldn't get off the toilet, etc or carry a gallon of milk

Now that I have had my IV IG, I feel much better! In fact, I was able to work today for a few hours and am planning on hanging some holiday decorations.

The steroids made all the difference in the world to me! I know they have some yucky side affects, but they were a real life saver!!!!

Hang in there!
Erin
