Help

Brodi,

Sorry you haven't had a response yet. Given your most recent symptoms, I highly suggest that you go to the ER for evaluation. If you have MG, those signs could indicate an exacerbation or a MG crisis. Numbness or tingling can indicate not enough oxygen getting to your tissues.

In the ER, they can check your O2, do pulmonary function tests, an arterial blood gas, and do a good neurological exam. They can also do an Ice Pack Test.

Napping is one of the first signs of MG. When a person with MG can't stay awake, that is a warning sign of an impending exacerbation or crisis. The difference between those two? Bad and worse! Either one should make you seek out care in an ER—by dialing 911. Don't drive. Driving when MG is bad is like driving drunk.

Call the doctor's office back (after you seek help) and ask the doctor to call back. The other staff are not legally able to give you results. I know that sounds silly and ridiculous, but it is necessary. Not all patients respond well to test results.

MG can be deceptive. You might think you are "ok" when you aren't. The best place for you is in an ER.

We can all talk to you after you get some help!

Annie
