I was diagnosed with MG in 2001 when I was 20. I just wanted to say that I can really relate to your story. I had the thymectomy, rode the mestinon roller-coaster, and took prednisone for a year. Now, I am forming a website for MG info. to help people not have to feel as alone as I was.
These videos give the most accurate description of what living with MG is like. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing that and for having the courage to allow people benefit from your struggle.
Knowing what you will be doing allows you to know when to take the medicine, giving it enough time to start working. I now take one or two pills with me whever I go just in case we have too much or get tied down somewhere. I saw the exercise video and I'm proud of you that your getting out there, however weird that sounds. Exercise hasn't always been that important to me so it's what I am struggling with. Any tips you have would be appreciated.
I should have watched this video earlier because it really showcases the symptoms more than your other videos. I really relate to how your voice goes away and you feel trouble swallowing, especially with medication. I have found that taken medication and thn eating helps alot because 1. the food will push it down into the stomach (hopefully) and 2. The food will help digestion the medicine faster. The trick with this syndrome/disorder is knowing what you are going to be doing in the near future.
