Default Able to do Less and Less with My Hands

I am unsure if this is related to MG or if I am dealing with something else. I have always had problems with my hands but it came and went. Occassionally I would have fingers that would feel numb or tingly.

Now my hands are constantly "numb". I have difficulty doing things with my hands. It feels as though I have no feeling in my hands. Putting barettes in my daughter's hair, washing the kids faces, applying my own make -up etc. etc. I could go on and on because it seems like I having a hard time now with ANYTHING that I have to use my hands.

I am really concerned about this because it does not improve with meds or rest. When I mentioned it to my neurologist he said that it sounded more like nerves than muscles but that is all he said. I had an EMG done on my right hand in April and it was normal.

I am really struggling with this. I have learned to adjust that I cannot do stairs and a lot of walking. I had the thymectomy in Feb. I take Azathioprine 100mg, Mestinon 300mg, Prednisone 5mg and Synthroid .075 mcg
I feel that my hands are progressively getting worse.

Any thoughts are appreciated. ~ Melanie
