You don't mention medications so all I can pass on to you is my own experience . I also had trouble walking any kind of distance . After a long period of testing I was finally diagnosed with LEMS . I was presribed an experimental medicine , diaminopyridine and later mestinon . I have been able to build up my endurance with stationary bike work , low speed treadmill and later some weight work . If you live in an urban area try to find a Y.
I wish you luck in your search , I know how frustrating in can be finding answers.

I have had myasthenia for a long time now and was diagnosed with it at 8 years old. I'm now in my late twenties. I have used quite a few different medications over the years and am looking for adivse on how best to help myself further.

I would like to help improve my health and exercise but I know that even walking a few blocks can tire me out, so wanted to know what kinds of exercises other people with mystenia do to help keep them healthy and trim.

I also wanted to know if there is any diet advice that I could follow so that it goes well with my excercise or something that would give me more energy and less fatigue.

I hope someone can help with any information.

Sorry about any bad english or grammar, typing on a phone isnt great.
