Let a doctor tell you how you are doing, instead of guessing!

Poor breathing in MG can feel as though you can't take a deep breath in or a deep breath out or both. Chest wall muscles can become so weak that they spasm or cramp up.

O2 saturation can tank late in the game. Even in the low 90s, it can mean that MG is about to tank.

The deceptive part about MG is that a person can become weak so slowly that they don't even realize how weak muscles have become.

You can do a check of your muscles. How long can you hold out your arms for? How long can you hold your breath? How long can you sit up straight? How long can you stand for? Can you grip an object well?

There are many ways to check to see how MG is doing. But the best way when your instincts KNOW that you are worse, is to see a doctor in the ER!!!

Don't wait. This is one unpredictable disease and you don't want to mess with it!

I hope you'll be ok.
