Default Are psychosomatic symptoms similar to MG?

Here are some questions:

  • Do psychosomatic illnesses include specific sets of fluctuating muscle weakness that is exacerbated by heat & repetitive muscle use, improves with rest, cooling and MG medications?!!!!
  • Are psychosomatic and MG symptoms really that similar? Or is it more just a case that an assuming doctor simply cannot tell the difference and doesn´t actually know much about either in the first place?
  • Are some male doctors perhaps predisposed to giving a psychosomatic diagnosis to females with muscle weakness without conducting any fatigable muscle weakness tests prior to diagnosis? So in other words: Would, for example.....an egocentric doctor + uncertain female + any type of muscle weakness just happen to = a rather unfortunate combination?
  • Are there any of you who are males on this forum and have also been previously´psychosomatisized´on account of fatigable muscle weakness???

Oddly enough, what I see in hindsight is that during the 5 years of fluctuating diagnoses and fluctuating progressive muscle weakness the only single constant during that entire period was in fact, my own persistent and unwavering emotional stability................


Have a fine day
