Here is another good article that talks about pain and MG. https://research.wsulibs.wsu.edu/xml...pdf?sequence=1. I know all the common sites say there is not pain with MG, but I have a lot of muscle pain with MG.

There is also another very important point buried around pages 15-16. MG affects skeletal ACHR. But there is also ganglionic and neuronal ACHR which controls the autonomic nervous system like digestion, temperature regulation, hearing etc. In the article it says that after 5 or more years of skeletal antibody production there is some cross-reactivity with ganglionic ACHR. I think this explains my GI symptoms, constant tinitis, dizziness, profuse sweating etc, I think they refer to this as AGID and AAG on my earlier post.

Sorry for the over-analysis, but I am analyst by profession. I need to dig to know the "why".
