    My only MG symptom is vision issues Primarily it is double vision but it is more than that sometimes it is more feeling like I am not in my environment because my vision is a little off. My double vision has been episodic. When I was first diagnosed with MG I had a 6 month period of double vision with the feeling I was in a bad 3D movie as my depth perception was very much off, My symptoms worsened for about 6 to 8 weeks from inception, then improved over the remainder of the 6 months when my vision returned to normal and remained that way for about four months. Then I had another 6 month episode followed by four months of normal vision,. That was followed by another 6 month episode. Each of these three episodes were less sever than the previous one. After the third episode I went three and a half years with normal vision before having a fourth episode. I am now in my third month of this latest episode.

    I find that stress is a significant factor in the triggering of episodes and the severity of them. I take no meds whatsoever to treat the condition I fo whatever is requires to avoid stress I do not tolerate negative, problematic people in my life Through all my episodes, I have found meditation, rest, strenuous exercise and long hot showers help. I do avoid screens and reading I listen to audible books and music)

    I find I am able to perform all normal functions of life and get by without anty help. am very careful moving mostly because of depth perception issues that result from using one eye My specialist says I am very lucky and better off than 95% of his MG patients I am thankful for my luck and prey it holds
