Double vision from MG

[Dan Dunphy]

I had double vision, over 23 years ago, after much searching, I went
to a neuologist, at the recommendation of a friend who had the same
problem.
They put me in hospital, for a bunch of tests, cat scan of thymus,
etc. They look for cancer of the thymus, which tends to overproduce
T-cells. Cancer not found, and they put me on prednisone. I was on
80mg every other day.
My probelm went away after a period of time. My doctor wiened me off
the prednisone, over 3 months. In my case I believe it was related to
Color film chemistry, combined with stress.
I've had one relapse, after 3 years, again doing color printing. I
took a nine day kayak trip and it went away, never to return. I quit
color printing, and have been symptom free for twenty years.
If you haven;t been to a neurologist, by all means go.

My advice may be worth what you paid for it.

Dan, you apparently had a mild case of Myasthenia, stress and other
things can trigger your symptoms. I have double vision as a result of
Ocular Myasthenia. I am on Prednisone and Imuran. Still slight
double vision. My triggers are allergies and infections.
