Melanie, How are your feet? Are they the same or similar? Can you ask your primary doc to check your B12 level and recheck your thyroid?
I'm on Armour Thyroid, which many people in my cardio's group say works better for them than Synthroid. Do some research on it. I know that people with MG can have so much destruction at the neuromuscular junction that they can have a loss of function but I'd check out other possibilities too, especially since your neuro said something about it. Any reason you would have carpel tunnel? I drop things a lot but I still have pretty good hand use. Some days I can't even write a check, it's like doing something in slow motion. It really sucks.

Melanie, as Annie questioned, the possibility is carpal tunnel syndrome & this would be my 1st thought...however, the EMG will gen'l support that....I just had my second carpal tunnel surgery (july 2nd) & this one is still a problem after 2 1/2 wks..having much pain & very painful shocks thru the hands from damaged nerves, much worse than the 1st time...however, my EMG did demonstrate the problem with depressed nerve conduction velocity...perhaps you will need a complete EMG on both arms & hands for this, unless they can come up with another answer...good luck...
