Hello Carrie: Thank you for your very informative reply, I really appreciate it. If I had believed all the things that I was told throughout the past 31 years from all the doctors I have visited, I probably wouldn't be alive today...LOL I have learned more from doing my own research and belonging to support groups like this one over listening to the doctors.
My left hand has been swollen and so sore I could not use it for a long time, along with all my other symptoms. But, that has mostly gone away now. Thank you my good friend for all your info and your concern. Take care of yourself and drop me a line anytime. I have been home-bound for a very long time. May God bless you and your family, Carrie....Bill

@willie23 and @carrie13 I found this information that helps explain:
"Myasthenia gravis (MG) can affect any of the muscles that you control voluntarily. It can affect muscles of the face, hands, eyes, arms and legs and those muscles involved in chewing, swallowing and talking. Muscles that control breathing and neck movement also can be affected."

I'm also tagging fellow MG-ers like @pkon @ellen307 @Erinmfs @nancybe @rambo77 @skhollandmt @pmci @kiwigirl4 @chglobig @smilton @pikuptruk to share their experiences.

Bill, how did you reduce the swelling and pain in your hand? What helped?
