: : : 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

  Thank you for doing the search..especially such a quick response!
