i was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis
about a year ago and was put on a
treatment of a commonly used steriod and
mestinon. well the steriods made me feel
weird and after the initial prescription
was used up i never refilled it and only
used the mestinon. using the mestinon
helped immensly and i didnt see any
adverse affects on stopping the steriods.
anyway about 2 months ago i started
feeling a sensation in my left leg, as if
i strained a muscle or gland. the
sensation developed into hip and leg pain
the strangle subsided in one leg then
switched to the other. i went to a local
doctor who after chatting for a few
minutes said it was inflamation in the
joints (i had a mild flu a week before the
symptoms) and put me on an anti
inflamatory. well no improvement , rather
more pain less mobility, so fustrated i
went back to the expensive specialist that
diagnosed the initial myasthenia. he was
aghast that i stopped the steriods and
suggested the the joint and leg pain was a
result of the myasthenia. i did some web
research but it dosent seem to add up i
cant find those symptoms associated with
myasthenia. could stopping the steriods
have caused this? even though i have been
great for the past year
