I had just turned 68,. 2 days later I woke up with double vision. My wife took me to the hospital. After two days of testing I was referred to a neurologist who after testing was diagnosed with gMg and put on high levels of drugs. One of the drugs ended putting me in the CCU for 5 days ending my double vision looking straight ahead but not my side double vision. For the next 4 years It was hell, weak, SOB ,couldn't take a shower 🚿 and get dressed with almost passing out, getting up from a chair without feeling faint and sometimes passing out.l had to go on H2o. I had 41 infusions of 4 different drugs. 2 plasma exchange, no help. My 3rd Dr. recommended I have my thymus removed so I did. Was told it takes a year or more to get results. Now I feel like I have been to hell and back. Still need a few drugs,for my life with gMg but I am getting my strength 💪 back. Still couldn't drive because of my double vision. Then I was diagnosed with,NHL cancer God Bless, but after my 4th chemotherapy treatment I woke up and had clear vision. God's blessings
