It sounds as if the brain MRI will help point you in one direction or the other (MS or MG). Although for perspective, when I started experiencing restless legs, I researched and was able to confirm it can be a symptom of MG. The chest pain I've had ranges from flickering pains in muscles of the ribs and sternum, pain at the top point of inhalation, and eventual spread and intensity of pain to the point it felt my chest was being crushed. So I'm curious whether that's similar to the pain you've experienced or if it was more along the lines of the 'MS hug' which people describe as a boa constrictor squeezing band sensation.

I also have twitchy legs and a chronic "bear hug" that nobody seems to be able to explain. I had an MRI about 2 years ago and it was ok. I wonder......

I have tightness in my chest that I always attribute to pectoral muscle weakness. I can tell how bad a day will be by the deep grooves near my nose and lips. Sometimes they are only on one side, sometimes they are really deep on both side.

So interesting.. I am SO anxious for the MRIs to see what's going on. I have to tell you guys, you've made me feel welcome here and, honestly, a bit less scared. I feel like whatever it is, I'm really not so alone. Thank you!:)
