What medications are you currently taking and how much?

Have you had a recent surgery/illness/infection that exaccerbated your symptoms? I had surgery last year that kicked off my MG full-force.

Was your doctor OK with you going back to work so soon after such severe symptoms? I think I would ask to take some time sick/disability/personal time until you can manage your symptoms better. The medicine does improve symptoms, but I am not sure I will ever have the stamina to do all the things I did before MG. You may need to reevaluate your activities and slow down until you have a better understanding of your new limitation. Trying to go back doing too much too fast may have been the problem. I was the same way. It took me a whole year for me to realize that I had to change my expectations or I would relapse with worse MG symptoms.

I hope I have been of some help. It will take a while to find your balance in feeling better and doing too much.
