Hi- I thought I had responded to you but don’t see my post so I hope this isn’t a repeat.- I thank you for sharing your experience.
My partner ended up taking me to ER. Tests and specialists later the neurologist said I have signs of myasthenia gravis. Further tests to confirm but he gave me the medication for it and it is like magic. 20-30 min after taking one my eyes are effortlessly wide open, some energy and what a giant relief.
Ironically, I also saw the oncologist a few days later and he decided to increase my synthroid to 50 mcg since my levels are on the low side and I have an intolerance to cold.
Phew- I guess the lesson is to persist if I know something is not right. Thanks again.
