Sorry to be ignorant of this condition. Are any of those medications for lowering your lipids / cholesterol? It the only medication I have added recently, but of course it could be a coincidence.

I have stopped taking the statins, and I haven’t had the smoke smell since.

I joined here because Myasthenia Gravis had come up a few times before when I searched some off/on symptoms. I discounted it as a diagnosis when the symptoms went and I didn’t have the symptoms very bad.

Main two I have noticed is one side of the face:
– droopy eyelid and mouth
– visual, hmm, ‘differences’ they are hard to describe because when I get my eyes checked they are the same & haven’t got much worse than would be expected for normal aging

I find when I pull my hair back into a pony tail (maybe correcting the weakness) it helps with the vision.

I also have dry-eyes, and ulcerative colitis (ie some autoimmune history) + occasional flares of knee arthritis and fatigue that can not be diagnosed.

Does this sound like MG do you think?

But yes the smells element is very interesting.
