Annie and Mike,
Thank you for your responses and honesty. I have come to terms with very likely having MG; now I would like to move on to treatment as quickly as I can. With having 4 kids and being in a Master's Program, I need all the energy I can get!

I have read that many people with MG can lead normal or near normal lives. Has that been your experience? Is MG a fluctuating type disease where you are feeling good for a while, then you may have a relapse or are you pretty much normal after finding what treatment works for you?

One question about swallowing and breathing. I am definitely having more trouble with those two as the days go on, but not enough that I feel like I need to seek treatment in the ER. Example, my breathing doesn't feel like I have an elephant on my chest- more like a puppy In other words, I look fine, and I'm breathing OK, but I can feel a change. Same with swallowing, I can eat ok, but I have to stop eating earlier than normal. Two things that give me trouble- bread and soda. Do you guys find that you have trouble swallowing some things more than others?
