Worsening diplopia with no explanation

Definitely talk to a neurologist about Myasthenia Gravis (MG). That’s where all my issues started-double vision and extreme extremity weakness when I was 17: after the birth of my first child (28), I was diagnosed with Sjogrens Syndrome and had major flare ups after the birth of my next two children. Then at 47 while going thru menopause I was diagnosed with Lupus and RA: I went into acute kidney failure (stage 3, almost 4) at 49. It’s been a rough road but find a good doctor to help you manage it all. The Mayo is fabulous if you can go there! I’ve noticed that a lot of my issues revolved around times in my life where I had hormonal changes. I hope you find answers! God bless!

Thank you @shellyleon_dd. What kind of double vision did you have? Was it like mine? I had also noticed that my issues, while milder in the beginning, go back to right after my twins were born. And while I was pregnant, my Crohn's was off-the-chart, crawl-in-the-corner-and-die kind of flaring. Do you mind me asking, did they find a cause for your kidney failure? I was in the hospital before the worst began with kidney failure, but they could never explain why it happened. I live in fear now, but my labs all say my kidneys are better now.
