Myesthenia Gravis?
by pietiangel, Dec 10, 2007 01:02PM
I have been having a lot of problems with my health since July of 2004 (numbness, tingling, slurred speech at times, droopy left eye occasionally, feel like I have to clear my throat all of the time and have had to go to ER for feeling of choking, clumsiness, memory issues, everything seems to happen on my left side too). I had a test to check for acetylcholine binding and it was slightly elevated. My doctor had questioned Myesthenia Gravis, and put me on Mestinon. It didn't help that much and he decided that he thought it could be MS. I have been round and round for almost 4 years now and want an answer! Of course who doesn't? Does anyone with Myesthenia Gravis have any of these symptoms?

I was diagnosed Hashimoto/Hypo in May 2006 since then i am complaing about numbness/tingling in my left arm /foot muscles cramp/ joint pain that all in my left side . I went to neurologist he did Ab test to rule out MG and MRI to rule out MS and done some EMG . My one of AB for MG came back slightly higher . She did test again from stanford after i pushed her and that came back negative . I do have memory problem since then . All my symptoms are related to thyroid as well .
