All I can say is that, no matter how quickly it comes on or not, the severity of MG is unpredictable.
Hii AnneB3,

I was just diagnosed with MG last month, but have had symptoms for more than a year. Still trying to understand it all, and consider my symptoms fairly mild right now....started with a droopy left eyelid that comes and goes, and general fatigue. I also have muscle weakness in arms & legs after activity, and have a little trouble swallowing from time to time (which started a few months ago). Sometimes I feel like I can't catch my breath or get a full breath of air, but it's hard for me to tell if it's just anxiety or part of the MG. This happens mostly at night when I'm trying to sleep, and I wonder if that's when I am worrying more b/c of the stress of the diagnosis.

I'm hoping that my symptoms don't worsen, and am just trying to do my research and prepare myself for whatever the future may hold. Currently taking only Mestinon, 30mg every 3-5 hours.

Take care
