Hi everyone!

I have just come across some information about Lymes Disease and it seems that the symptoms can be very similar to a lot of other conditions including MG....what stuck out for me was the facial weakness, difficulty walking, extreme fatigue, pale skin and autonomic dysfunction/difficulty standing.

Before the first onset of my symptoms 10 years I was bitten in New York (not sure by what...I assume a mosquito or bug) which caused my leg to swell and for me to feel quite unwell...I then went onto to have recurrent bouts of "Post-viral fatigue" until the MG symptoms appeared around 12 months later. Then, 3 months before the MG returned with vengeance last February I was bitten by a tick in the back of my neck in an area known to have cases of Lyme Disease.

I may just be clutching at straws here but I have read about people thinking there is a link between MG and Lymes and even being misdiagnosed with Mg when it was Lymes? I am negative on all tests for MG but do have a Clinical diagnosis...Mestinon helps a little with the facial weakness but does not resolve it and does not help the fatigue elements or unwell feelings.....and I am currently not being offered any other treatment and am left questioning my diagnosis now that I seem to have been abandoned!

Does anyone know anything about Lymes vs MG....or having both together...or one triggering the other??

Thanks everyone x
