Red face Hi Maryec!

Hey hon! Sorry to hear you are going through all of this junk right now!

I know this sounds dumb, but what is - myopathy? I know my pred causes me to get really, really jittery...........at least I think it is the pred........

Why on earth do they need to recheck your dx? I just don't understand!

Take a deep breath and try and relax for now - stress will only make you feel worse.............easier said than done........

Are you going to see a specialist? When are you scheduled for more testing? What type of testing do they want to do?

Can't wait to hear from you!

Big hugs!
Erin

Neuropathy & myopathy just showed up on my ncv & emg, along with my jitter from the MG. I have myotonia in my hands & legs & feet. The reason for the check was for weakness, foot drop, legs giving out. The doc. have known all along I had some overlap disease. wonder what they will come up with now?
