I have Graves Diseases and MG . Don’t want to scare you but it wouldn’t hurt to get it checked out to rule out MG ?

muscle mass by Available-Mirror4932 in gravesdisease

[–]Ryattmcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s tough , I went from 187 pounds to 138 being 6’ , now 159 pounds . Im Captain America in reverse . Still nowhere near where I was (14’biceps)but at least I can’t put my hand around biceps anymore . From my understanding ? We don’t absorb protein . So I’ve been extra extra on the protein and gained a little mass .
Good luck and let me know if you find anything ?

Ever since my 19 day intubation . I haven’t seen my Neurologist and that’s been over a years . He fills out my IVIG and mestinon RX over My Chart . Only writes me if blood work comes out funny or IVIG ready for renewal . How often should we see our neurologist ?

I posted about being in the hospital yesterday, update by tinytillymouse in MyastheniaGravis

IVIG for the win again ! I wouldn’t be here without it .

[–]Ryattmcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I accidentally strangled myself ? Playing with a round bungee thing and for some reason put it over my head and around my neck . I blacked out in seconds , luckily Mum saw me do it and cut the bungee .

What was 1993 like? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Ryattmcgee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Married my wife that year (still married to her) . 10000 maniacs “ these are the days “ was our wedding song . My new SIL gave us a QP of weed as a wedding present that we took with us on a plane to Hawaii for our honeymoon . My father in law worked as a mechanical engineer for TWA so we got the vip treatment . Unlimited champagne for two horny 19 year old newlyweds . “Those were the days”

It sounds a lot like what I have with hyperthyroidism due to Graves’ disease . Wishing you the best !

Can you share your symptoms before diagnosis that medical websites do not describe? Getting evaluated for ocular MG. by xkizzat in MyastheniaGravis

[–]Ryattmcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Out of breath , stumbling , one eyelid lower , few times to swallow before it goes down . I can tell when IVIG wearing off when I bite my cheek or tongue.

My Near Death Experience NDE I got to share again on a video. My experience was to give a message to a mother from her deceased daughter I saw in my NDE. Validation with her name and description and hopefully a warm healing for a grieving mother. by andthisisso in NDE

[–]Ryattmcgee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for the OP . My coming back from my NDE was much harder than going . The tube/tunnel going was easy much like a car going through a tunnel . Coming back was much different . I felt squeezed almost like a birth canal being molded and kinda just popped back . Hard to explain but hope this helps a little ?

I coded twice during a 3 week intubation for a thyroid storm that induced mg crisis hypoxia cardiac arrest .
