Hi I was diagnosed with MG in August 2006. the worst thing about the diagnosis was that there was no information other than what was on the internet, available in New Zealand.
The Doctor who told me about the condition turned his computer towards me and said this is what you have got. I had double vision and all I saw was a whole lot of lines on the screen. He gave me a scrap of paper with a website address on it. He also gave me a prescription for pyridostigmmine. His script said 2 tablets daily.
The next day I had the 2 tablets early in the morning. it was like a switch had been turned on. I was back to normal. At least for 3 -4 hrs. I contacted my doctor and it was soon discovered that the doctor in the hospital had made a mistake in writing out the script.
Once I had the correct meds life became easier.
