Many of the symptoms are similar. I bring it up because I have both diseases and I can't help myself, because I see people posting without a definitive diagnosis that really fit the profile of Chronic Lyme Disease. Also I see people posting symptoms are that very fitting for Chronic Lyme, maybe more so than MG. It is called "The Great Imitator" and is a huge epidemic. It is hard to diagnose, makes you very sick, and has a ton of symptoms.

Also, when you have a bacterial infection for a really long time, you can develop an autoimmune disease. For myself and a surprising number of people I've met in other MG groups, our MG started with years of Chronic Lyme disease. If the Lyme goes undetected and untreated, the MG will never get better. My doctor is certain Chronic Lyme was the cause of my MG. I started to feel better when I went on long term IV antibiotics. I've been on them daily for 14 months.
