Thank you to ALL of you who have responded. I am not sure if I am barking up the wrong tree with MG or not, but I need to see if I can get to the bottom of my medical issues!

By way of update...I do have an underactive thryoid for which I have been treated x 20 yrs. The symptoms I described in my last e-mail have persisted regardless of being properly medicated for thyroid issues. It is so frustrating when a new dr looks at my file and automatically assumes my symptoms must be thyroid related. I do think that my meds exacerbate my symptoms, particularly when they are too high, but I have read somewhere(?) about a connection b/w thyroid and MG. The icing on the cake was when I had such a bad reaction to a recent antibiotic. However, I am afraid to re-raise the query of MG with my primary care dr for fear of judgement. I'm sure many of you have been in these shoes?!?!

Can anyone tell me - with MG, can cognitive problems (eg brain fog) be a major component? If I exert myself, not only do I feel physically depleted, but cognitively "out of it". It becomes hard to read, to understand, to write coherently, to follow conversations, etc...Does anyone else experience this?
And the urge for extended rest after exertion? (I have slept for 15 hours straight after 20 minutes of really heavy lifting).

I have never lost complete use of any muscle or muscle group, but the left side of my face feels funny - kind of like the muscles around my mouth are not quite working as they should (ie it feels like a real effort to move them). And some days, when the eye drooping gets bad, my face has a very flat expression - hard to describe - but hopefully some of you know what I mean...

Thanks in advance for any answers to my above questions and an other feedback you can provide me! I am really grateful I found this forum...
