Default MG, MS, LEMS, ?? what can it be

Hi all,
I'm frustrated, confused and wondering if it's all in mind.

My drooping eyelid, fatigue and weakness had me sure it was MG. After an eye exam, I was even more convinced, Dr. said it was textbook MG. My PCP said seem more like MS.

The MG blood work came back normal.

The last few days in the late afternoon my legs seemed so weak I could barely walk. They felt like they were a thousand lbs. and it was so hard to balance and walk. But after resting for a few hours, I felt so much better. From what I read that is more in-line with MG, then MS.

There are other symptoms like face numbness and no expression, jaw felt heavy, arm weakness with over use. And the droopy eye that comes and go.

But then there are odd shooting pains all other. Some of are like bee stings, real quick that last only seconds. my wrist and hand hurt.

I've been reading so much, I wonder if it is all in my head and self induced.

I need Help! Please tell me what you think? How were you diagnosed?
