Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20 - I'd probably been having "symptoms" for much longer than I ever realized (my neuro said most people who get an MG diagnosis have probably had it a very long time).

I went to (hopefully) get plastic surgery to correct my drooping eyelid - ended up with a neurology appointment instead.....

I was one of those people who never felt energized after exercising (even when I was young and "in shape") - I was ALWAYS tired afterward, and couldn't understand why. Right before my diagnosis, I noticed that I was getting tired folding UNDERWEAR; I remember thinking, "Boy, you really ARE out of shape!"

In a way, the diagnosis was a relief - even though it wasn't even on my radar at the time - it explained so many things, and I could finally allow myself to NOT feel guilty for being so tired all the time.....
