Rach, I know you've been dealing with this awhile and may know when you get worse but I want to give you a caution. What you described about how now you can't even type is worrisome.

MG can get worse so slowly that you don't even realize that you are getting weaker. I think it was the movie Dante's Peak that I heard this analogy. If a frog is put in water and it is heated up slowly, it won't jump out when it gets scalding hot because it didn't even realize it was getting hotter. But when it gets dropped into scalding water, it will jump out. So, if you get weak all of a sudden, you may notice it but not if you get weak more slowly.

Anyway, just realize that breathing in MG can go downhill rather fast. If you are having signs of worsening, you need help right away. Have they ever done arterial blood gases on you?!!! When you are worse, have them do that. They can't argue with that blood test and say that you faked it or held your breath!!!
