Looking back, I do remember one thing. For several months before the collapse, I began to sleep much more than usual. I'd go to bed at nine, and sleep until eight--very deeply and restfully. It was wonderful, actually, since I've always been a bit of an insomniac.

It's not really clear to me that this is MG-related, but it was weird.

I got out of bed one morning and fell flat on the floor. I thought my legs were asleep. That was my first sign too. However, when we looked back, I remembered being so sleepy. I slept all the time for about a week prior.

extreme stress is what "brought out" my MG.
When my son relapsed with cancer I had to spend many hours awake beside his bed and I got double vision so bad that I was being sick. Luckily I was in the area in down town Toronto where there are many world class hospitals. I remember getting the diagnoses and getting put on Mystinon and the symptoms, with some much needed rest, my vision got better but the double vision stayed to when I look on both sides of my vision. Now it is generalized.
