  • I forgot to mention that I am currently on a blood thinner - Coumadin and occasionally on high blood pressure medicine - can't remember the name. I did not have any issues with blood clots or high blood pressure before my recent c-section delivery so I am not sure if this has made my MG disease to accerlate. I DO notice that it seems to be getting worse. Also, I forgot to mention in my initial posting that I use to get migrains on the same side as my MG ewye when I was a child - flashing light and a lot of pressure on that side. I still get them from time to time - about two times a year. I wonder if there is a connection somehow. My left eye socket hurts when this happens and so does my ear on the same side - lots of pressure and pain in the ear. Sometimes, I have thought it was an ear infection but it would some times turn out negative upon seeing a dr. Some dr's have prescribe antibiotics even if they did not see an ear infection just in case it would work - some times it did, sometimes not. I will ask my specialist if there is a connection to all of this and let you know. If any of you have ever had these symptoms, it would be great to know as we may be on to something.

  • Excuse my spelling - I meant MD disease and "Eye". Ok, I'm up pretty late (or early at 2:30am) because I can't go back to bed.
