were you tested for myasthenia gravis? I was diagnosed with this in Feb. 2000. never had heard of it until then. I thought age was getting to me and slowing me down by the end of my day my legs felt like they had cement anchors on them. This maybe something you want to ask your dr. about He may send you to a neurologist for testing since it is a neuro-muscular illness. But it is controlled with meds. and should not alter your life to much at least not like some things that throw obstacles at our lives. this was not a very nice gift for my 50th birthday in march. So ask your dr. about this sometimes getting diagnosed with a problem is the hardest to do. Good luck!
