Lizzie, I thought you might've put info up about pulmonary hypertension!

Pulmonary hypertension is also a risk if you have MG. They don't know much about how it comes about really. And they don't have a "cure" for it. As Lizzie can tell you, it's a very scary diagnosis because of the odds that it will only keep getting worse.

Don't underestimate the importance of taking your blood pressure. My Dad had high BP for years due to rheumatic fever that destroyed his aortic valve. The doctors didn't check BP back then like they do now. He ended up with kidney failure.

Mary, I wish someone would do a study about MG and the autonomic nervous system to see how many of us eventually have a problem with it. The vagus nerve is a pretty interesting nerve. You would think it would only be a conduit for neurotransmitters like acetylcholine. Not so. It actually has a lot to do with our immune system!

If you have a Sam's Club or Costco near you, their BP monitors tend to be lower in cost than elsewhere. I like the Omron brand myself.
