Hi Jade, we all really apreciate your effort to let others know about MG. I do not have MG, or know anyone with MG. i NEVER had any knowledge about what it is to go though it till I heard from your video. I just read a prayer for you and may God give you better days. We all love you, love you and love you. Smile and cheer up and keep yourself motivated.

I'm very sorry to hear all this Jade. I'm a Nursing student in Florida studying for a Neuro Exam. I looked up this video to help get a better understanding of the disease.. because there is only so much you can really get from a book. I appreciate your bravery in making this video, I am sure it was hard. I wish you the very best and am going to pray for you tonight :'(

Hey Jade, I was diagnosed with MG about two years ago. Because I also have hyper Thyroid My endocrinologist suspected I had MG. She was wondering why my symptoms weren't really getting better and sent me to see a neurologist. He shocked me a few times and confirmed it for me. I've hated my life ever since, knowing I'll have to live the rest of it with this freaking disease. It's amazing how you take simple things like eating and talking for granted until you get slapped in the face with MG.

I Jade I am diagnosed at 34 yrs of age with MG. I am now 62 and have had one really bad bout a few months ago. I was not able to walk for several days and i had to get a slew of antibiotics for a tummy virus that sent this MG to attack ME! Well now I am taking more mestinon and doing far better than before.

Hi Jade,

I was diagnosed in April 2010 and had a thymectomy a month after in May.

My MG symptoms have not improved and unfortunately was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia and periodic paralysis this February. I do what I can to take good care of myself. I have not lost hope that one day I will feel better. I have a lot of the symptoms you describe as well as others.

I was wondering if you'll be attending The MG Foundation Annual Conference in Baltimore May 4-6? I will be there!
