Susan, Does MG make you feel threatened? I'm actually being serious. As someone who has PTSD from doctoring traumas, it's not farfetched.

Is Mestinon a reminder of that? You know, a trigger?

Maybe you're allergic to Bromide. It's possible. Do you have any signs of an allergy like runny nose, increased mucous in your throat? A higher heart rate can be a sign of that too.

I love how they all pass the buck back and forth. NOT.

I think you should keep a log of your symptoms and when you take Mestinon, etc. Are there any herbs or anything else like supplements you are taking?

My heart rate goes high when my MG is bad. Then the O2 saturation goes down.

Abby, Graves is a good thought. Always a possibility when you have one autoimmune disease.

Sue, I had to laugh at how you describe being weak, like being unable to lift plates. One day I was so weak I couldn't "crack" the ice cubes in my ice cube trays. Pathetic.

Susan, I wish your doctors were more concerned. At least doing a little heart monitoring and at the very least an ECG. Yeah, could be an increased heart rate from panic attacks but what if it's not?!!!

All these assumptions in medicine is probably why there are so many mistakes.
