Ocular MG

I was just diagnosed with MG my symptoms are double vision and my eyeballs going to the left. My eyeball literally goes halfway inside my head. Hard to explain. It effects my everyday life. I can't drive because things appear closer, double vision seeing 2 instead of one

  1. I'm so sorry, but help is on the way. You are newly diagnosed, and it is the worst possible time. A good doctor will eventually get your symptoms stabilized on meds and you will do much better. I also could not see well enough to drive when I was first diagnosed. Now I drive every day. I have no eye droop and no double vision. For me, pyridostigmine was the solution, followed a few months later by azathioprine. It's really hard in the beginning, and many meds take a long time to work. We all feel for you. You can be confident it will get better.

    1. Im sorry you're experiencing this, sadly I aswell have a lot of double vision, blurry vision and random eye movements where I look up or roll my eyes.
      I hope youll find a way to do the small things in life again! x
