I noticed this before I was on meds. Now that I am on meds it is not as noticeable. I am on Mestinon and Imuran. Take care ~ Melanie

It may be that it has always been like this since you first developed (but didn't know that you had) MG. You just weren't paying as much attention and/or making the connection to the "little" things before you had a name for your illness. From what I have read, it is quite common for this to happen in women who haven't yet gone through menopause - I guess the hormones place an additional stress on our systems....

Yes, it does make MG symptoms worse.

I try to rest more during this time, drink plenty water and eat good food - these things help. It has taken me over of year of having MG to realize that this is the time when I have to take care of myself or I crash hard and end up not able to do anything but rest.

Good topic. Yes. Mostly on the first day or two. I get in a tired or extra tired state where even Mestinon doesn't seem to help so much. Though I am not actually diagnosed with MG, I think I have it.
