In my family my auntie had a muscle weakness that was probably MG. It was never diagnosed but Neuros have said since that she looks as though she matches MG. I have just found out her first cousin had an identical muscle disease and also her niece( my second cousin).

The Dr my second cousin is seeing is calling it a rare form of muscular dystrophy that does not have a genetic test yet.

Now I am really spooked. Is it a rare MD or MG for everyone and all the others were misdiagnosed ?

My auntie and her cousin has passed away but could this be possible - in one family ? Do all Neuros know about CMS ? My symptoms started about when I was 10 and I think I had some remissions through my life but now have symptoms again.

And my second cousin is in a wheelchair now. Could that still be MG ?
