I've always tested low positive for MG, but dr. & myself don't think I fit description. Autoimmunities are all through my immediate and extended family: MS, lupus, Sjogrens, RA. I've always been told "something autoimmune", probably lupus, but drs. seem to disagree. The only constant over 26 yrs. has been low positive for MG. Presently I am only taking NSAIDS.
For the last 6 or so years, whenever I get a cold, all my symptoms (muscle weakness, aching, cramps, rigid spasmed muscles - my back and arms are like bricks) go away for anywhere from 1-3 weeks. Dr, PT, massage therapist note it too, but no explanation.
Except for a cold, I feel terrific, then the symptoms creep back in. I don't usually slow down much from an average cold, continue to work, etc. so it doesn't seem to be from extra resting.
Any research on this? I'd much rather have a slight cold than any of the other stuff.
