Hi Erin -
I gave you the brief history of the MG drama in my life ... in spite of being diagnosed and undiagnosed then rediagnosed eventually there were a million bumps in the road on the way. I had never heard of it before and still only know a few people other than on this forum who have it.

My MG started with my voice and swallowing - then generalized to the rest of my body. Without IViG I have a great deal of difficulty with my hands - especially my fingers and it also affects my legs - feels like I am walking through a swamp with 10 pound weights on my legs. Most of my symptoms are manageble but the swallowing thing is the most challenging and probably the most dangerous. I just had aspiration pneumonia again at Halloween.

I am 45 years old now. I am a female in spite of my nickname Gabe - my real name is Gabrielle and my parents pronounced it more like Gabriel so my nickname is Gabe. I do have nightsweats and especially in the days following IVIG.
