Hi, am new to these boards. I’m 52 and living in the UK. I mentioned an intermittently droopy right eyelid to my optometrist about 4 months ago who referred me via my GP to a neurology consultant who I saw at the end of July. I’m awaiting bloods and a chest MRI.
Meanwhile in the last two or so weeks I’ve developed pains in my hips, knees and ankles when going up and down stairs and also have a weird pressure sensation as if I have a weight on my chest when I lie down, which makes me very aware of my breathing. Also, early evening fatigue which hits me like a train, and a bit wobbly on my feet and I’m losing my balance a bit when moving about.
Obviously I have no firm diagnosis (although the consultant spoke as if he thought it would be confirmed) but I wondered if any of these things going on, in others’ experience, are linked to a shift towards generalised MG, or whether I’m just symptom-spotting by being on heightened alert?!
Any feedback most welcome, thanks.
