Unhappy Confused, mentally exhausted, MG?

Good afternoon everyone, hope all is well. I am currently 26. Around 15 months ago, I noticed that my eyelids started to start dropping a bit. The right eye much more significantly than the left. It felt like I also had a problem focusing or seeing with the right eye. Went to the eye doctor they said everything looked normal. Around that same time I noticed the right side of my face felt heavy, especially the corners of my mouth. At times, it felt like there was this throbbing feeling and it became difficult to smile as the corners of my mouth would buckle. My face just felt really weak. Even talking sometimes and moving my mouth felt like a task. I always just chalked it up to stress and anxiety, as it seems like whenever my anxiety was high the symptoms got worse. But I realized that the symptoms came on first, followed by the anxiety. Stress only made things worse. I went to my GP who said everything “seemed fine”.

These symptoms come and go. Sometimes I feel ok, other days the symptoms hit me like a truck. I am concerned that this may be Myasthenia Gravis. Does anyone have any input or experience with these symptoms?

Hi vragucci93

Welcome to NeuroTalk .

What you have described could well be signs of MG.

The MG forum here (https://www.neurotalk.org/forum77) is very active so if you post there other members will be able to offer you good ideas.

Best wishes.
