That sounds really uncomfortable and stressful, and it's completely understandable to feel worried — especially when you're not getting the answers you need from your GP.
Mesenteric Panniculitis is not caused by myasthenia gravis. They are separate conditions, and based on available information, there is no known link between the two.
What's most important right now is that your symptoms — abdominal swelling, scattered bowel loops, and concern about a partial blockage — need urgent medical attention. These are not symptoms to wait on.
Here's what to consider doing right now:
- Go to an emergency department if your swelling is worsening or you have severe pain, nausea, or can't pass gas/stool
- Ask for a referral to a gastroenterologist if your GP isn't taking your concerns seriously
- Document your symptoms — timing, severity, and any changes — to share with specialists
One important note for MG specifically: if you ever need surgery or new medications for your bowel condition, make sure all treating doctors are aware of your MG diagnosis, as some medications and anesthetics can affect MG symptoms.
Please don't delay seeking care if you feel your symptoms are getting worse. Your instincts matter.
