    5 months of torture and being told it’s all in my head. Finally, got my diagnosis of MG today from a doctor that was intelligent who actually listened and didn’t judge me. I’m 29 and a male so I guess I got the super rare version lol. Seriously glad the mystery is over and I can finally get the treatment I need.
  • Thanks you for posting this video and helping people be aware of M.G. My father had this. The lady in the video is right.

    It took 6 years for my diagnosis. My symptoms were all over the place. But my first presenting other than blurry vision was that my right leg stopped moving one night. It literally could/ would not take another step. So the first neurologist that I saw told my husband and I that it was stress and that we needed to have more sex. We thought he was joking but soon realized that he wasn’t. We didn’t go back.

    is there a personal maximum of how far the disease can progress?
  • After a episode of not being able to breath and about four months of droopy eyelids I was told it was all in my head. I finally started researching my symptoms, most of which I had spoken to the doctor about, I stumbled onto Myasthenia Gravis and had about 80% of them I asked to be tested which then confirmed my research. I also was diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitis about twenty years ago. It's been almost three years since my M.G. diagnosis, I won't be insuring my motorcycle this year.

    I can handle the ocular side of things, but the fatigue has floored me.
