Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is NOT hard to diagnose if a medical professional is MG literate! Some ophthalmologists and optometrists have suspected MG, and recommended seeing a neurologist, if a patient has droopy eyelids and/or double and/or blurred vision but eye tests reveal no malady.
There are 6 significant symptoms for MG. For most people, all 6 symptoms may not be evident at MG onset. Most with MG will start with one symptom, then if not diagnosed and given correct treatment, will likely experience additional symptom(s) as gMG (genralized Myasthenia Gravis) progresses. Myasthenia Gravis Symptoms: blurred and/or double vision, droop eyelid(s), limited facial expressions (looks like a sneer), inability to hold up head and/or have weakness in weakness in neck, arms & legs, chocking & difficulty swallowing and, usually but not always the last, is slurred speech. I have done extensive MG research from only the most reputable sites. I have gathered LOTS of information that I gladly share with the MG support group I started in 2018 and anyone wanting to be MG educated. Even if you may not have any of these symptoms, you probably know or have seen someone with them!!
