He has also had problems with autoimmune disorders: alopcia, exzema, shingles, etc. and wants to be tested for autoimmune problems now. My dr. is drawing up the paperwork, since not many young kids get shingles. My mom ALSO has autoimmune problems (just like Devon's) plus she has had symptoms of MG for years, but won't get it checked out - don't ask me why.....I just hope and pray that Devon is OK - I know this sounds nuts, but I would feel really guilty if he ever comes down with MG, though I know the chances are slim. It really irritates him when I try and tell him about MG, so I'm just going to leave him alone for now. It scared him when I was so sick. I was always so strong b/4 I became ill (think about a woman with OCD who repaints her whole house over the weekend and then gardens - I wonder if that contributed to my getting so ill so quickly - were you the same way b/4 u became ill? I just can't stand to stay in bed all the time, so getting out and finally being able to work has really been a blessing for me.........Gotta go for now and get my house ready for tomorrow!

Hang in there!!!!!
