What drugs are you on? Are you on steroids? You can get a myopathy from steroids. Also, get your vitamin D and B12 checked. They are two of the most common vitamin deficiencies. Vitamin D def. can cause muscle pain too. So can electrolyte imbalances.
Good luck!

For the myasthenia I'm on prednisone, cellcept, and mestinon. But then I'm on a whole bunch of others that may be making the myasthenia worse. I'm taking painkillers for the back pain, neurontin and klonopin for the myoclonus.
I've also got a pinched nerve in my neck/shoulder area which is why I was prescribed the zanaflex. I was a little surprised that it helped the back pain, too, as I thought that was from weakness. I've been doing the home exercises, but I may end up going back for another round of therapy...I was just hoping to wait until after the thymectomy.
