    When my double vision started, eye doctor and neurologist were very sure that this is only eye muscle weakness. Neurologist commented that it would be visible if they think of something. But nobody could explain what suddenly I started to see double. They made me use prismatic glasses for 2 years before flare and followed up by MG diagnose. I couldn’t drive properly.

    When I was diagnosed for the first time, first neurologist had no idea about the disease and gave me high dose prednisolon. When I had slurry speech, he said it might be psychological. No, it wasn’t. He just didn’t know.

    Finally I got a good doctor and on correct treatment.

    It was hard time and I want to forget.
