Hello,

I hope the doc's determine very soon whether it's MG or not. I know from experience how frustrating the wait can be. I had very similar symptoms to what you're experiencing. My left eye drooped, left leg and left arm were very weak. I walked with a limp due to left leg weakness. I was diagnosed after 5 months of exams, tests, and prodding. Finally, I had a thymectomy performed in April 1997 and went into remission for almost 11 years. In 2008 I started having problems again, although not the exact same symptoms. Finally after diagnosis confirming I was out of remission, I'm on a daily regiment of mestinon. It helps some but I still struggle with my left leg weakness which causes a limp, weak eyelids and fatigue which is exacerbated by the heat in the summer. For some people, mestion isn't necessary after a thymectomy.

I wish you the very best.
