Myasthinia Gravis (aka; MG)

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!

Thank you for that encouraging word. I still get the creeps from watching this commercial in the 1970s.

The version as I remembered it ended "Please don't let me down. I may never get up."

My BiL has had MG for around 10 years.

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.

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?

I believe Ann-Margaret's husband had the disease. It's an autoimmune disorder, and people who are prone to autoimmune disorders are more prone to MG. I know this because I have an autoimmune disorder (Grave's Disease) and one of my eye doctors once mentioned that I am X times more likely to develop MG than others (I don't remember how many times he said). Sounds pretty bad, but I understand it responds well to treatment.

Sorry for your troubles

Prayers up

Screw your thinking. He posted this in the “Bloggers & Personal” forum.

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

Idiotic!
