How old were you when you were diagnosed with MG?

I was 69 years old, it took about 5 months trying to finally get admitted to hospital and investigated and diagnosed. I had gone from a fairly healthy 69 year old woman to completely downhill in a couple of months. I could not swallow, my speech was very muffled and slurred, my legs and arms extremely weak and I couldn't completely close my eyelids, sometimes had double vision, and could not hold my arms above my head. My mouth roof and internal structure were swollen. I was very short of breath and could not walk the length of myself without exhaustion. I was very frightenened and concerned that I was going into multiple system failure and dying. I lost weight as I could only swallow soft custard, eggs, soups and water.
