Hi, Becky. Where you been?!

Actually, some people with MG do have one side weaker than the other. I know most people think of things like MS or strokes when they think of that. I used to.

Have you ever noticed how you use one side of the body more than the other? I drive with my left more than my right but I'm right-handed and use that more. The right arm always gets weaker. My right eyelid is the dominant droopy one but they both droop. And I think it depends upon when a neuro examines you!

Kate, have you ever had a brain MRI? I'm glad you like the neuro but even doctors we like can do not so great stuff or have weird thoughts about things. And I wonder if he was just tired of doing neuro exams on patients that day! I know, that's not a good excuse. He should have done an exam, especially with new symptoms.

If you are having a hard time swallowing (just caught that in your post), then try sipping on ice water in between bites of food. Try putting a cold washcloth on your neck (not too cold) to help those muscles. People who talk a lot have more trouble with the voice/neck muscles.
