To Diane:

When my hypo symptoms were so so severe last year after RAI, through my own research (cuz my endo said all my symptoms were not related to thyroid), I thought maybe I had MS or myasthenia gravis, and I was petrified with fear. My internist tested me for both and they came up negative.

I was convinced that I had MG because of muscle weakness and stiffness especially in my face, and “pins & needles” tingling in my face and through my entire scalp. It was very bizzarre. A year later, I still feel mild muscle stiffness in my face around my temples and into my cheeks, but I think that’s because of the TED and swelling around my eyes.

I think all my continuing symptoms are related to Graves’, cuz I sure felt fine before diagnosis (besides mild heart palpitations and anxiety)! Gosh, even my eyes were perfectly normal before RAI!

If anyone out there has myasthenia gravis, can you please reply and describe your symptoms. Thanks for reading my long recent posts!
