Kaitlin Jasmon has gone from being a college athlete to needing to rely on others for simple tasks. Katie will discuss how she is redefining her own limits and maintaining a positive outlook.
Also have this. Was diagnosed about 8 weeks ago. First noticed Double Vision then slurring of my speech. Went to Dr. and he found or diagnosed it in a few luckydays. I did have a "Crisis" about two weeks ago and had to be air flighted to a much larger hosp. in NW PA. I was almost DOA due to respiratory failure.
I'm now under controlled meds and seem to be getting well from this last attack but also know this is a controlled disease and no real cure for it. Good Luck. :)
I cant begin to explain how much it seemed like you were decribing my life for the past year and a half rather than yours.....my mg too hit me halfway thru college and tore apart my althletic abilites.....then too went thru pred/IVIG/pheresis etc. hope all is well with you........
Regardless of what obstacles life may place in front of you, keep fighting. You will beat this and you will be able to follow your dreams. We support you and we love you!
What an inspiration! Thanks Katie--my 8 year old was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis in August. Like you, she has MG, but it does not have her. We're determined to keep it that way!
How inspiring :)
