Mine started on the left and then spread to the right, legs, ams, and hands. To paraphrase the old song, "I've looked at MG from both sides now..."

Hi Debbie. It has affected both sides of me. Both my arms and hands get very weak. When it comes to my eyelids the right side is down more than the left side. I am having problems with the muscles on both sides of my ribs hurting bad when I get up from lying down but I do not know if it is connected to MG,

I'm so sorry that you don't have a more supportive, knowledgeable neurologist helping you out, Debbie! I wonder if there are articles or resources available here or somewhere else online that you could use to bolster your points and/or counter your neurologist's? Wishing you luck with this and hoping it doesn't cause you so much frustration that your general health is worse because of it! Sending you big virtual hugs. ❤️❤️
