I have been experiencing mg type symptoms for several weeks now..am soon to be 55..am diabetic. The M.D. is doing the antibody test for acetycholine receptors, so dx is not definitive. I have been taking 300 mg St. John's wort 3 x/day for about 6 months, and am wondering if there could be any connection? Thanks for any thoughts..Ann
