Does anyone have trouble with muscle spasms after activity? Even with a small job like peeling potatoes I have prolonged muscle spasms. I have heard taking a tablespoon of mustard helps. Anyone else?

I know this is an older thread, but wanted to comment that these statements resonate strongly with me. Especially "You never realize which muscles you're using until you can't use them." It is so weird to discover "Oh, I can do THIS but not THAT", when both actions SEEM like they would use the same muscles. "I can STAND but not WALK" is one of the weirder ones to me. You'd think if you could support your weight and stand, taht would be the hard part, but then none of the muscles to move a foot forwards work at all.


I also like " I'm sort of diagnosed, but I'm seronegative and had questionable SFEMG's. So in the back of my mind, I'm always wondering if I really have MG". I completely am in this situation. On the one hand, I'm very happy to have a neurologist willing to diagnose me, and I do indeed respond to Mestinon...but on the other hand, learning I'm misdiagnosed would give me a second chance at hope. If I'm misdiagnosed, maybe that's the reason I'm not "normal" again, and I would be if only they could give me the right medications. (Although, as I'm learning, my current state is fairly "normal" for MG, and probably not a sign of being misdiagnosed).
