Could I have this disease?

I'm almost 56 years old and lately I have little to no energy, I've always been energetic some shortness of breath should I be concerned and should I try to convince my doctor to take a closer look?

  1. I have been noticing getting tired easily even after sleeping all night like within an hour or 2 I'm ready for a nap. No difficulty I'm chewing or swallowing but just tired all the time legs feeling like jello and just soreness my eyes have been messed up not drooping but I had complete retina detachment 24 years ago but just sore muscles not from exercising

    1. I do hope your Dr. take a better look for you! That sounds to me like it need a second look...But I am not a Dr. I just know how I feel with all My health issues including MG, that can cause symptoms like those. Best Wishes and hoping you can get some answers & relief!! ❄️Sally Farrier...Myasthenia-Gravis.com (team member).

    Difficulty brushing your teeth
    Struggle washing or styling your hair
    Rapid weakness when exercising
    Trouble walking
    Difficulty swallowing or chewing
    Slurring speech
    Double vision or drooping of the eyelids?
