I was walking home from our shops in Leeston NZ I found my eyesight didn’t seem right. When I got home I noticed my one of my eyelids was half way down. Rang Dr next morning which was a Monday. He thought I had had a stroke at the back of my eye.He said I needed to go to hospital straight away. Daughter took me there was a bed for me. After three days bloods test MRI and other tests. The neurologist said he was sure I had MG. Optical. That was Dec 2020. At the age of 76 Been on Prednisone and pyridostigmine ever since. Started at a high dose. Went down but back on 120mg & prednisone 10mg unable to go any further down as I have it returns. Eyesight cannot get my glasses that I was prescribed right. Never wore glasses before this MG started.
