Sherron

Ptosis ( now in both),blurred vision with minor diplopia at times, dysphagia, fatigue with chewing, hoarseness with talking, weakness in neck, arms , legs , sensitivity to heat (which causes weakness, shortness of breath & breathing difficulties), choking/coughing on sputum (duh) thin liquids and sometimes food,

Mestinon doesn't really help the weakness much

Mestinon does help the ptosis quite a bit

Sometimes, but my symptoms seem to match pretty close to other peoples' on this list and BrainTalk. And if I have to have some horrid disease, all the other things the doctors have mentioned as a differential diagnosis have been even worse. One doctor had me do a genetic test for OPMD and when I looked that one up, I was thankful that was negative (although my symptoms didn't really match, so I think that was a waste of my money).
 

Yes, pretty much so.  Seems like most everything else just doesn't "fit".
