I was diagnosed with MG this past February. Last November while working in the morning my vision went from clear to double. I work with Architectural drawings on a computer screen all day. As you might imagine there are lots of line’s running in different directions. All of a sudden the lines doubled and didn’t make any sense.
I got into see an eye doctor that afternoon and was told that my vision would resolve in 4 to 6 weeks. This wasn’t the answer I was expecting.
As you might imagine I was starting to panic.
In February I saw a doctor that figure out what the real problem was, MG.
Reflecting back I believe that this all started almost four years ago. Four primary symptoms: inability to control my bladder, extreme exhaustion both physically and mentally everyday, muscle pain and severe heat intolerance. Over those few years, every doctor that I talked to didn’t have any answers. One doctor told me that I just needed to get more sleep and another doctor said that I needed to lose ten pounds.
When I was finally diagnosed with MG and the more I learned it all started to make sense. I still have all of those problems, but they are less troubling now and easier to deal with.
