Hi Sally! First, let me say "howdy" and "welcome" to neurotalk! You are going to LOVE everyone on this site! I know that it has really helped me through some dark times. Everyone here is so friendly and welcoming

.....

I was recently diagnosed with MG - by the time I was diagnosed though it had been waaaaaaaaaaay to late and I had to go into the ICU for a while. Granted it may sound scary, but it truly saved my life! I DO know what you mean about not being able to dry your hair. That used to drive me crazy!I truly thought I was losing my mind, cuz' everyday things were now impossible and I couldn't figure out why............it was a very scary time

I don't know what "high signal" means, but my MRI's were clear to the best of knowledge..........

Hang in there and let us know how you are feeling and what your neuro says!

Take care!

Erin
