Just a few months before I retired Mayo Clinic diagnosed me with the disease although my wife had told me for a couple of years that I was getting lazy eyes. Anyway, I take 180 mg of PB a day, but the symptoms of eye weakness and limb weakness seem to be worsening. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and musco-skeletal weakness during the VA Gulf War physicals in 1993 and wonder if those maladies could have been precursors to outright MG. Without feeling sorry for myself, I have documentation from Department of Defense that my unit was in the wind plume of the Sarin Gas explosion in Iraq in 1991, I took PB when combat started and organophosphates were used liberally around our tent sleeping and living areas.
