MemberHindsight is 20/20 in my case, as seems to be true with other folks who have posted in these forums. Double vision after a couple of days finally forced me to go to the ER, tests showed no stroke, and a (hospitalist) neurologist did the ice bag test. Finally, a diagnosis. Blood tests confirmed it two weeks later. The weeks (months? not sure, now) of debilitating muscle weakness that preceded this, I passed off as just part of getting older – – the diagnosis came shortly after my 75th birthday. It’s obvious, now, that my MG symptoms were actively signaling trouble with my health.
