Thanks, guys!

Boy, I was feeling like crap last night! lol

Chemar, sorry about the thread...It wasn't really a complaint re. the locking of the thread, but more the fact that my fingers were really weak because of the MG, and I didn't have the 'gas' to re-type my post...hehe

Good idea, Desert, re. the copying/pasting...I've thought of that before, but I always forget! I'm going to do that everytime now!

I've noticed that whenever my fingers are really weak, I also have major facial weakness, and my eyes wont stop tearing...Can't close my lips and eyelids tightly...Overall, I feel like I have the strength of a cloud...

Tyson, I was going to pretty much say what everyone else was saying...There was more, but I'm feeling sorta sleepy, so I will post it when I have more energy! SOrry, buddy! But most importantly, you be your best advocate...Make sure to get as much information about this disease as possible so that you knwo waht to ask your doctor, and feel secure/safe in the asnwers/treatment you're getting....I think that your doctor has the best of intentions, and is ordering the right tests (thyroid, etc). I hvge similar sx as you re. the heart. I feel pretty sure as to why I have them. I have Mitral valve prolapse and thyroid antibodies, and both can cause weird heart sensations. Maybe you can ask your doc. to order a test to check for those antibodies too. Since you and i both had a thymoma, it woudln't be unheard of for you to have these antibodies. Having MG majorly increases your chances of having the antibodies too...It also may be the prednisone and cellcept causing these symptoms. heart palps. are sides of both of these. I think that it would make a lot of sense if the meds. were ccausing these sx because of the timing of when they started...Try to trust your doc., and also be your advocate...It's prolly hard when you're as young as you are, but you gotta take care of yourself!
