Hi everyone,

I'm 46, About 8 months ago I noticed a slight slur creeping into my speech, it has gradually got worse to the point where I can barely talk now, it has generally been a gradual deterioration.

I also have weakness in my left arm/hand and a bit on my right side as well. I also have a lack of control over my emotions (emotional incontinence) although funnily enough I am not particularly emotionally upset at having the disease.

I have had a preliminary diagnosis of pseudo bulbar palsy which is a form of MND.

The main reason that I am questioning whether it could be MG or not is that there does seem to be a fair degree of fatigueability along with the weakness. At times the fatigue was worse than the weakness but as the weakness gets worse it becomes the prominent feature.

There have been a number of very mild muscle spasms, but the most notable ones happen in the thymus region which take my breath away (I always thought they were heart muscle flutters, which they could still be).

One unusual thing about my health prior to getting sick was that I was insatiable for salt and ate ridiculous amounts of it, this is one of the other reasons for looking into MG.

I have had lots of blood tests done but have not discussed MG with my neurologist (nor he with me) so I don't know if it's been tested for or not, and I don't have another appointment for 6 weeks so I'm looking to get some feedback here.

Thanks for any replies. I'm interested as to whether my symptoms could fit MG or not and looking for general advice and discussion. Ta
