My doctor is now testing me for Pompe Disease.

I'm wondering if any of you have heard of it or maybe have it, obviously this would be the late onset as I am 24.

But I don't think my symptoms match. Everything I have read says that it is progressive not relapsing.

I have spells where I am so weak I can't move or talk and it feels very difficult to breath. I have been tested for Myastenia Gravis along with many other things. They have also suspected Periodic Paralysis along with many other things.

I guess the reason I'm asking is that I'm wondering if the doctors could be right in looking into this, or if they are just taking a shot in the dark now that it has been five years of looking and they still don't know.

Thank you for any input. I am going to do the blood test as soon as my kids get better and I can leave the house without worrying about spreading their sickness to anyone else. But I do appreciate any advice anyone can share.

Thanks again.
