I have MG and my weakness is predominantly right-sided. My eye and facial droop is very one sided - although if I have really overdone it the other side will show mild weakness....but, by that time the right is so bad it only shows in pictures etc!! My arms and legs seem evenly weak but when my legs are bad I tend to limp a little compensating for the right side - so it seems I am weaker there too!
Good luck with getting to the bottom of this, limbo is not a nice place to be and I really hope you get some answers (and medication) soon. Let us know how you get on ![]() |

I had an MRI with contrast and that's what the Neuro based his dx on. I know they did extensive blood tests but I'm thinking that was for Lyme and Lupus. I have progressed alot since 2005 when I was dx. But I think I've had MS for alot longer than just since '05. That was just when I finally got an answer to all the strange sx I'd had for many years.

I have similar problems with classic MG symptoms with gait and balance issues. I also have small fiber neuropathy ( leg pain and unusual sensation) and Neurotin has been a life saver for me in regards to pain. My right side is quite weaker including my face (left side of face is normal) and I will be starting Mestinon this week after an eye exam. I think I also have spasticity of the right leg. My right leg feels like it wooden. I feel like my leg is prosthetic and wooden especially when I walk and try to lift it up in PT. Yes all of my readings within the past few days points to MS as well. My MRI without constrast (allergic to constrast) showed white matter and vascular changes (no stroke)and just posted in MS forum also since I'm new here. I will keep you posted with any changes and I hope you will update us as well. Something is wrong and MG normally does not cause this. My walking is almost stroke like.
