That's interesting. it also wasn't my first. I've had hashimoto's (auto immune slow thyroid) for 2 years, doc told me to take more meds, I did and got hyperthyroid. That gave me weird feelings in my throat, gave me weightloss and more. So they decided not to test my thyroid but to take my tonsils out. I got valium for the operation (they said I was anxious, but I wasn't: the hyper thyroid gave me symptoms like high heartrate and stuff).
I'n sure the valium got my MG to wake up. I've never felt normal again, and I took 2 days to get out of the narcosis, which for such a simple operation normally lasts for 2 hours. [and it took another year to figure out it was mg]
Is there someone with mg as their first disease?
