Default New here, thought posting some could help.

I'm a 27 year old Male.

I was just diagnosed about a week ago, only 3 weeks from the start of any major symptoms, double vision, tired, short of breath. It progressed extremely fast in those 3 weeks. I guess I should count myself lucky on this fast diagnosis.

2 weeks in I got a recommendation to see an eye doc, lucky for me he spouted of this MG thing that I had never heard of. Went to the hospital for the blood test immediately. An ER visit for trouble breathing and a few other doctors later that had no idea what they were doing I got word from my eye doctor that said I was positive for MG, 4x the accepted level.

So now I'm on mestinon 3-4 a day and just started the prednisone today after the mestinon did nothing for me. I have a ct scheduled for tomorrow of my thymus and my first neuro appointment in a few weeks.

That's all for today I guess.
