Link Variability of weakness / diagnosing / fibro

This is true right? Some days or hours the MG person could have no visible signs of weakness. So even an experienced doc would not see eye drooping, or anything else wrong in a physical exam. This doc was seeing me while I was on Mestinon, so of course he didn't find anything wrong!

Anyway, I'm not sure if my weakness and fatigue are MG or just Fibromyalgia or something else. It seems normal GIVEN the "fibro" stuff. That if it's difficult to do X or Y, then if I do them (push myself), I'll be more weak and tired afterwards (and it could last days). Like a normal person running miles, but all I did was walk two blocks. Hm, I don't know if I am writing any of this down properly. I guess there is a difference and the reason I think I could have MG (with the fibro) is that I'll get weak so fast, but a little bit of rest can really reset it. (In fact, I think my fibro came out of having MG.) I guess what I am trying to do is distinguish which symptoms would go with which autoimmune illness and which might just be normal fatigue (or due to sleep apnea or anxiety or other things).
