Nancy, I am 53 and I had these symptoms creeping on me for years. After a hysterectomy 2 years ago, the MG came on full force and has never gone away. The walking a short distance and having to rest is very typical of MG, thats what they mean by muscle fatiqueability, and then after rest you are better for a little while. But then with each excertion, you need more and more rest to recover. Right now, I can only walk normal for the first 3 or 4 steps until the muscle fatigue starts to slows me down. When I get really weak, my muscle start to burn, in fact I break out in a sweat all over. And oh the summer heat makes everything so much worse.

Do they have you on Mestinon? Have you ever tried it?
