What kind of doctor to see to rule out or in MG?
Hi guys,
I have a plethora of symptoms and have had for some years now that I can't figure out, .. and just don't get better.
Briefly I have:
Diplopia
Ghosted vision (monocular diplopia) *IE: a fainter image of the thing I'm looking at in each eye in front of what I'm looking at.
Dispersed muscle weakness--
My shoulders, back, neck, hands (ie: Trying to squeeze a water hose or sprayer.. after a few seconds it feels like my muscles give out and I have to stop.) -- Typing right now on a laptop is difficult to just hold my hand up in the air (hovering over the keyboard as I lay on my stomach) --
The list could go on with the muscles.... but weird weaknesses that can't be explained. Although I could lift some heavier weight a few times .. doesn't make sense.
Holding my mouth open at the dentist causes it to shake after a short period of time..
Just sitting up straight now is tough -- I have some sort of pain in my neck/back from it.. and I can be sitting or driving and have to relax my neck to one side or the other -- leaning my head to one shoulder, etc.
My bowels -- I don't feel like I go enough nor does 'enough' come out when I do. *TMI?*
Any activity that used to be easy -- working on a car for a little while, etc.. I can't sustain..
I am 33 now, just turned it. This has been persisting for 6 years or so now. Slowly getting worse I'm afraid.
I noticed it first with my vision.. which is a 24/7 thing.
Bottom line, is I think MG may be the issue -- and I've been to a few GP's in the past.. an ophthalmologist , and so on.. but no talk of MG.. and I'm a little doctor shy because no real concrete problem has been found.
So, what kind of doctor should I see?
Just any neurologist?
Should I go in and say I want to be tested for MG?
Another thing -- My mind, it is constantly foggy - and I can't think straight, nor see properly all the time. Can this be from MG?
Thanks,
