Default New member Myasthenia

New member here. I have a tentative dx of Myasthenia Gravis as of April of this year. My vision problems were put in the migraine variant column and the balance/weakness to my fibro/back problems. Then the double vision and right eye droop began. My GP said it was common in patients with hypothyroidism but sent me to my ophthalmologist to check it out. She is a strabismus
specialist and said more like MG. Sent me to my neuro. He ordered bloodwork. I have the results but he can't see me until late September. I have been doing some research on this and have some questions. I figured I'd ask some people who have it and maybe get some clarification before my appt.
