Default Muscle fatigue

I would like to know if anyone has checked out myasthenia gravis. The more I read about it, the more it explains my "whole body" symptoms. Of course, I have to fight for pain meds.

I am finding that doctors are ridiculously closing their eyes to our situation, and our pain. IF you have any trouble breathing, this is a myesthenia gravis crisis symptom. It means our sympathetic system for breathing is not working. So you really need an advocate with you.

And with TOS and MG, there is no such thing as "muscle strengthening" for us. Gentle walk. No work strengthening, or you're going to make yourself have some bad symptoms.

If you can strengthen with no rebound, you might have something different from neurogenic TOS.

The sad thing is that we are so unique, that we have to do our own research, and keep fighting.
