Thanks for your reply. I wish I could have a diagnosis—it’s hard to keep going for years, having Docs always giving “that look”.

I’ve told Docs that I felt like prednisone “saved my life” but they usually say, “everyone feels great on steroids”.

I was on 60 mg of prednisone when I was given the blood test for MG.

A side note; I found by chance I was Vitamin D deficient (15). Two doctors didn’t seem to care too much about it. They did give me 50,000 iu /week of Vitamin D2. After 8 months I asked to be recheck and the level was the same. Three Doctors didn’t have a clue why the level stayed low. After researching on the Internet and finding the site vitamindcouncil.org[/url], I went to a health food store and purchased Vitamin D3. I have had a huge increase of energy and my level doubled in only 10 days. I read lately that low Vitamin D has an impact on MG.

Hope that others could let me know if my symptoms are typical for MG or not. Thanks!
