Thanks for the replies.
First for the diagnosis of MG.
About 10 weeks ago following a week of my wife telling me it looked like my right eye lid was swollen I started having ptosis. My right eye closed almost completely. It was worse in the afternoon when I was driving. A visit to the ophthalmologist resulting in a ptosis diagnosis but he said I needed to have cataract surgery first. A few days after the second cataract surgery I started having double vision. He said he wanted a second opinion from another doctor in his practice but also sent me for blood tests for MG. Over the weekend the symptoms got worse. I had tunnel vision, colors changed on me, face of people 100 feet away lost features like eyes and nose etc.
During the exam by the second doctor he received the results back on the blood tests. The binding part where over .3 was a positive was 6.0. The second tests where over 15% was positive was 43%. The third tests was still pending. The doctor stopped in the middle of trying to fit lenses to correct the double vision, said I definitely had MD and we scheduled an appointment with a neurologists with MG experience.
I will add another response for the Prilosec question
