Thanks for your words of support. That was a great suggestion about checking out the ERs ahead of time. I live quite rural and a hospital is at least a half hour in any direction.

This is my first time posting to a message board, so please excuse me if I do not get the ettiquette right.

I started with symptoms about 2 years ago with muscle pain and fatigue. I had a hysterectomy in March with some organ repairs with the mesh. That is when my symptoms got a whole lot worse. My right eye droops and is slow to respond. My muscle are weak and I trip, stumble, bang into furniture and drop things a lot. The littlest physical activity leaves me exhausted. I have ringing in my ears and often start choking when I eat or drink. I have no respiratory symptoms which I am thankful for since I have had severe asthma all my life.

Do the neurologist put you on meds right away or do they run a whole bunch of tests first?

Thanks everyone, kathie
