Hello All,

I am so happy to find this group. I was diagnosed with MG about a month ago and I have been reading as much information about MG as I can find. It's great to find a forum that provides real life experiences about living with MG.

Since this is a new diagnosis, I truly don't know what to expect. I am curious if any others have experienced decreased strength/decreased contraction of their gluteus (buttocks) muscle? Basically, I can't squeeze my butt cheeks together.

Up until a few days ago, all my MG symptoms have been in my bilateral arms.

Not sure what to think of this new weakness.

Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kenna

Welcome to NeuroTalk .

The MG forum is very active so I am sure that you will get lots of support and helpful suggestions from other members.

Best wishes.

Welcome Kenna,

One thing I've noticed that causes left side weakness for me is driving. The sunshine coming in through the driver's window warms up that side of my body and pretty much everything on my left side gets weak until I cool down.

Good Luck, Lee
