I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing these symptoms. Based on the context provided, here are some relevant points about myasthenia gravis (MG) that might be helpful:

- Muscle Weakness: MG can cause muscle weakness in various parts of the body, including the arms, legs, hands, and neck. This weakness can interfere with daily activities such as walking, standing up, and lifting objects.
- Fatigue: People with MG often feel weaker and more fatigued during periods of activity and may feel better after resting. This means you might have more muscle strength in the morning and feel weaker by the end of the day.
- Falls: Muscle weakness in the legs and arms can lead to difficulties with balance and coordination, increasing the risk of falls.
- Diagnosis: If you suspect MG, it’s important to consult with a neurologist who can perform specific tests to diagnose the condition. These tests may include antibody testing, the ice pack test, and imaging studies.

It's crucial to work with your healthcare provider to identify the cause of your symptoms and develop an appropriate treatment plan. If you haven't already, consider discussing the possibility of MG with your doctor.
