Sorry, for the personal nature of the Thread BUT...I recently got diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis (MG) and had never heard of it.
I'm posting the Thread to ask if anyone here on FreeRepublic is familiar with MG, either them self directly, or has a friend or loved one who has the disease.
MG, apparently, has been around forever and is 'kind of' a cousin of MS (Multiple Sclerosis). So far, it's been pretty debilitating with blurred vision, loss of strength, balance problems, and extraordinary fatigue from not a lot of activity and heat. From what I've learned, it's not a curable disease but treatable to minimize impact on my lifestyle.
Again, sorry for the personal Thread but I'm trying to learn how to live with this sh!t - now that I've got it.
I’m so sorry you have MG. My grandmother had it and my mom has it. She’s 77 and got diagnosed about 2 years ago. My mom has muscle weakness and fatigue. And numerous other symptoms. I’m 49 and scared of getting it. My mom is pushing through it no matter what. My mom joined an MG group on Facebook. She got lots of info there. I hope you’ll go into remission or at least your symptoms get better.
Wow, you are not very nice!
The version as I remembered it ended "Please don't let me down. I may never get up."
I have a cow that acts like a dog. Wants to be petted..and loved on...
I've known some horses ass's too.....Saw your picture next to that phrase........
One of his symptoms is loss of taste and smell, similar to the covid symptom, as well as fatigue and blurry vision.
Medication has helped lessen symptoms but not completely.
Then don’t read them.
That’s what the scroll button is for.
Prayers for you in dealing with MG.
Perhaps if you were less anal, your hemorrhoids would heal. Give it a try.
Are you taking statins?
Bkmk
Heh

Sorry for your troubles
Prayers up

What are you doing going into that and having a tirade?
Idiotic!
