Does anyone have Myasthenia Gravis?
 

Just wondering if anyone here on the forum has MG?

I was diagnosed with it March 06 after severe double vision sent me to the hospital. I am on Mestinon (4 a day) and recovered from the double vision but have the fatigue associated with using muscles - (they get weak with use/recover with rest)

I'm on a diet and doing my cardio everyday - but the MG does not make it easy. 20 minutes and I'm hurting with weakness, I recover from rest.

So I'm the only lucky one? LOL

You may very well be. ;)

I'm not completely sure as to what MG even is, but I'll do a Google search.

I know what MG is. My sister had it for years before she passed away in 2001...so I understand what you're going through.

Did your sister die from complications of MG? :(

Yes, MG was the major cause but she had other health issues as well. She didn't take good care of herself. She was nearly sixty years old, a heavy smoker and extremely overweight. However, I have a cousin who also has MG, and as far as I know, he is doing well.

Sorry to hear your sister died so young at only 60 years old. I am trying to lose weight and be in good health to improve my quality of life.
