Nicky,
I like you don't understand the role that stress plays in MG but I KNOW it has a huge impact. I too have been under tremendous stress for the last couple of years. My first symptom of MG was about 10 months ago and it was only weakness in my arms that came and went. I actually blew this off as stress or not sleeping well. In June when I ended up with ptosis I had literally had an emotional breakdown. My son still refers to it as the day I had my nervous breakdown. I think all the stress I had been dealing with came to a head and when I finally exploded the MG came full force. I know that this week has been incredibly stressful for me again and I can definitely tell my MG is flaring up. I am shaky and dizzy again and feel completely fatigued. The ptosis is usually my first sign that I need to step back and deal with my stress. I have worked soooo hard on my coping skills but there are some things in life that just can't be controlled!!! I have wondered before if remission can happen when we are still stressed or does it usually come after people accept the disease and try to eliminate their stress. Good post Nicky. These are things I have pondered too.
