Default Dealing with MG

Hi,

Am new to this forum, and am glad I found it as where i'm from, there isn't much info on MG and there aren't any groups or associations whom I can turn to for answers.

I'm being tested for Mg currently, and am still awaiting the test results on my blood and it takes 10 weeks!! My neuro isn't exactly helpful, and there's just so many questions going on in my mind, as its test after test but yet he has not told me anything about what this is. I've done the EMG but its negative.

I've been experiencing weakness in my hands and legs for close to a year now, and since Feb, the facial weakness is starting to affect me. Vision is blurred and I'm having problems reading, eyes cant seem to follow long paragraphs well. So please pardon me for this upsizee of words. Find myself having problems pronouncing words properly, think its difficulty controlling my lips somehow,so find myself speaking really slow. Can't really open my mouth big enough to stuff certain foods in too. Are these symptoms of MG as well? If so, how do you all cope with the slurring? What tests did you have to do before they got you diagnosed properly?

Would really appreciate any reply.
