I am 37 years old, mom of 3, disability retired from the USAF after 11 years due to Graves' Disease in 2006. Thyroid issues have been under control for 2+ years now, and now I find myself fighting more, as I'm told I have Myasthenia Gravis (pending muscle biopsies in 2 days to rule out everything else). Although the labs were negative, and the IEMG was very positive for 'something', it seems that the Mestinon I've been on since Thursday last week is improving my muscle function. Unfortunately, that has left me with little appetite (I can't even stand chocolate anymore!) and I am sooo tired and my whole body hurts. I'm once again at the beginning of facing a frustrating disease and feel like I'm too old, too tired & have too much else to deal with to handle this. This sounds depressing, but I'm not depressed, just a little discouraged. Just looking for a little support out there from someone going through the same situation. If anyone haves Graves' and MG, talk to me, pleeease!
