I've figured out that everything about this disease is hard to understand. The first thing I learned is that MG effects four parts of the body

- Ocular muscles
- Neck muscles
- Chest muscles
- Trunk muscles

I have generalized MG, which means that I have weakness in all areas. Sounds to me like you have ocular muscle weakness. I have had a horrible experience with that. I have had two instances where my eyes will lock and I can't move them left to right and then I ended up with double vision. My neuro said that prednisone was needed to solve the vision problem and any swallowing problem. Well it did, that was four years ago, and I have been slowly reducing the prednisone dosage. Meanwhile, the prednisone has given me an advance form of osteoporosis which has resulted in fractures of my spine.

Why is it that you take something to help one problem and it causes another.

Good luck with finding out what is causing your visual problem. Keep us updated on the results.
