So, I'm still a newbie both to this community and to the realization that yes, I really do have MG. But over the last year of seeing my neuro, I've learned some surprising things. Maybe the most surprising is that "mental fatigue" is a symptom (of various things, quite possibly) that is actually recognized in the field of neurology. After hearing that from my neuros, it was important for me to discover that there is at least a small research literature on mental fatigue in MG. In my own experience, mental fatigue (sometimes called "cognitive fatigue") and physical fatigue are pretty inseparable.

I would love to hear from others about this, both because it's validating and because it is the combination of mental and physical fatigue that has made it impossible to continue working full-time.

Finally, this question— is this the kind of online group that would be bored and irritated by a discussion of academic publications, or one that thrives on them, or is it somewhere between?
