Myasthenia Gravis, EBV, Fibro, RA,OA,DryEye

I've had M.G. since 1983 & EBV & fibro since 1985. Now I'm being treated for dry eye. I didn't know the connection between Myasthenia Gravis & Dry Eye till recently. I had a thymectomy done in 1996. What else should I be aware of as it is affecting my facial muscles pretty bad. .
I swim 3-4 xs week, I walk 2xs day, I take supplements & drink green drinks. I've had deep tissue massage, accupuncture, I've done everything named.
My question is w/ the fibo my pain is completly out of control. What can I do to "fix" my pain center so the pain tolerance is adjusted. and how can I tell when I'm in a myasthenia attack & when I'm in a fibro attack. Like when to treat the weaknness & when to treat the pain.?
As I get in suicidal pain & sometimes the only thing that pulls me out is muscle relaxers. I take percacet 7.5-325. & I find that taking one first thing in A.M. gets me through the whole day w/o the pain getting to an 8-10.
I take 2 mg xanax to sleep. I've just started Lyrca/cymbalta maybe 3 weeks ago. For years I have taken neurotin.
Just see if you can pull it together for me. I also suffer from chronic constipation.
