I May Have Ocular Myasthenia Gravis

For now the doctor told me I have the ocular type of Myasthenia Gravis (MG).  But I believe it can change into generalized MG. Here's an explanation. "MG is differentiated into two major clinical forms: ocular MG, in which the patient has predominantly ocular symptoms, and generalized MG, in which the patient develops generalized proximal weakness. One study found that, over a mean follow-up period of 17 years, approximately 15%-17% of patients with MG had strictly ocular symptoms." (from the web) My energy levels are low and I was told to use a walker for the time being.  I'm waiting for lab results. Medication helps with vertigo and nausea. I nap a lot. This video is technical and a little hard to follow but it explains my situation. I hope to be back to normal soon!

Vertigo and several falls with hospital visits slowed down my posting. I'll see a neurologist this week.

My Vertigo Treatment: Epley Maneuver

I've had severe vertigo the last two weeks so my family doctor recommended that I see a physical therapist skilled in performing the Epley maneuver.  I'm going for the treatment tonight.  I've never heard of it but his video explains it quite well.  Hopefully this will work.
