This is interesting. You know first year of medical school, students go for medical help suspecting they're having a certain disease, many of them think they have the same diseases, it turns out the disease will just lectured in their previous class. This is common in people. Relax.

I was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis four years ago. I am now 72. I am on Prednisone, 12.5 mg every other day. I have neck, back, shoulder, full arm and hands, feet and calves, weakness. Prednisone controls it fairly well, but my body hurts when I stand too long. My GP says it's pain from old age. How old are you?

I hear that all the time. It’s hurts because you’re get old. They could put it a nicer way
