I started experiencing tiredness/fatigue and joint pain when I was around 21. I've been seeing a rheumatologist for maybe 4-years. I have numerous autoantibodies. I found out last year that I have Myasthenia gravis due to a thymoma. When the thymoma was discovered, it was about the size of a baseball. My doc. says it was growing there for prolly at least 5-years (seems to coincide with when my joint pain and fatigue commenced). Right now, the MG bothers me the most as it affects my speaking, eating and breathing. I'm still in a lot of pain from the autoimmune arthritis, but prednisone helps.
