Reply To: How Long Until Diagnosis?

My first symptom was a drooping eyelid and the concern was a potential stroke, so they sent me to ER and after several tests they determined that it was not life threatening. At that time I didn’t have any other weakness.

I went to ophthalmologist a few weeks later and that was when I was diagnosed. I was happy to have it diagnosed quickly, but there is no dr where I live that specializes in MG.

I’m currently trying to get into Mayo, Barrow Neurological Institute or Cleveland Clinic. Hopefully, it will be soon!
