Hi Connie,

Yes, the problems with your speech and vision are symptoms of MG. I found the difficulty with speaking was more due to my tongue than lips, it was partially paralyzed by the MG and would not work the way it is supposed to.

It is very manageable with mestinon. My thymectomy cleared up a lot of my symptoms and the remaining symptoms are being handled with medication.

I suggest you write down all of your questions and bring them on paper to your neuro. You deserve answers about what is going on with you and how (s)he intends to treat you.

Best of luck and welcome to the forum

Cheers,

Brian.
