Hi Anne, and welcome to MGteam! I have hypothyroid disorder, osteopenia (probably from meds), was diagnosed with COPD but was 'undiagnosed' this year, and had a diagnosis of Bell's Palsy for months before my MG diagnosis. I also have mild arthritis and weak lungs. I think it's pretty common to be misdiagnosed because MG is still just not common enough to be easily recognizable. And it's also not unusual to multiple autoimmune issues.
All the best to you!
