Default foot drop

I've had MG symptoms for almost four years now, but yesterday I had a new one: foot drop.

I really over-did it yesterday. It was 100 degrees, and I did errands all day--two trips to drop off and pick up kids at activities, the grocery store, Walmart (ugh!), a blood test--and then, in the evening, a Little League baseball game.* That's about ten times more than I usually allow in the same day. So it's not surprising that at the end of it (after the game, at around 8:00 p.m.) my MG should be acting up. But I never had foot drop before.

My MG tends to travel around. A month or so ago, my neck was weak and now it's not. Usually when I'm tired, my legs are weak, but yesterday my legs were fine, only my feet weren't working. I have the impression that this migration of weakness is typical for MG. But I haven't heard anyone talk about foot drop here. Is that unheard of with MG?
