So I got blood test back this week saying I have the anti-achr antibody, and I'm waiting on an appointment with a neurologist. I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome five years ago and I have all sorts of weird symptoms. The big question in my mind is whether I have actually had MG for five years and never had CFS, or whether I have both MG and CFS.

I've never had facial or eyelid drooping, but I do get ghosting in my vision.

The fatigue and weakness is in my whole body, particularly my arms and legs. But the main symptom that effects my day-to-day life is brain fog, which I guess is derivative of the general fatigue. When I get really exhausted my mind just stops, I have no control over my thoughts and no reasoning capacity. When it's less bad I just get slow, forget words and can't link concepts with each other. Can MG sufferers get brain fog to this extent? The thing is it's a worse symptom for me than the bodily weakness, but that might be because I work in academia.

I'm also intolerant to alcohol and hypersensitive to caffeine. Could this somehow be as a result of MG? I can't see how it could be, but I'm new to this.

I also have asthma, but guess MG could be affecting my breathing. My lungs are very strong most of the time (on that test where you breathe into a tube), but then gets really bad and I have to use my inhaler a couple of times a day, which isn't the usual way asthma works.
