Momyaya, the vision this is a question I have struggled with too. And honestly the docs have been the ones that have left me feeling crazy not from what I have said around my eyes. The first doc I saw tho was very nice and said it was MG clearly.

About the symptoms I think I know what you mean. Increased blurring of a different kind was the first thing I noticed. But I also have cataracts and dry eye so it was hard to be sure. It seemed like something else. It did seem to be worse during the course of the day like my muscle weakness.

Then when it hit when it changed to worse one week along with my breathing affecting my ability to drive I knew something else was going on. When I was seen the doc did this test that showed me my vision was doubling when I looked to the sides. But he had to show me this by a test. One eye has to be covered to do it.

The thing that really wasnt addressed or discussed was what happens to my eyes when I try to track traffic. The part that one doesnt notice till you are trying to look back and forth to the side streets. That is awful!! It seems obvious to me that my eyes arent traveling fast enough. I look over to one side and then when I try to move back WHEW!! It feels like I am in a fun house. I have actually gotten dizziness from it.

The other is, well, I don't know if it's double vision but I get one eye that will usually get blurry. I'll have to cover that eye so that I can see.
I'm actually not sure if I mentioned that to the doctor or not!! I am SO afraid of the docs thinking I'm CRAZY...... UGH.
