Thanks, Annie. I hope you will take some time off of everything that you can take time off of...
I had a chest CT about six months ago, and my yearly thyroid ultrasound a couple of months ago (I have a big nodule, which was biopsied and is now followed with yearly ultrasounds). I have been having lots of standard metabolic panels and such.
I really think that what I'm experiencing is just some sort of MG surge. These spells always hit during the "down" phase of my MG ups and downs.
I am slightly hyperthyroid, which makes me sort of over-react to things. I get carried away. Thanks for caring.

What about a 24-hour urine looking at potassium/sodium, etc.? And don't forget about magnesium. Is your kidney function good?

What I meant about driving yourself nuts is your doubt about your MG diagnosis. As I'm sure you can tell, I'm in quite a grief funk at the moment and not my normal, detailed self.
I hope you can figure out what is going on. |
