Hey Allen,

You never have to apologize for ranting...most of us have on occasion. With this disease still being considered rare, it's not easy to meet someone with MG. I don't know anyone in my area who has it. The nearest support group is 60 miles away in a rather large city. I've had it for going on 11 years and this is the first support group I've joined. I don't know how I managed so long without all the wonderful people here. I don't feel so isolated anymore and everyone here knows exactly what you are going through. As you know, those that don't have it, can't possibly understand. I know what you mean about having a hard time accepting it at your age. I'm 57 now, and I learned to accept it quite a few years ago and you will too. It just takes a little time. I wish you all the best and hope your neuro is right and you continue to have only ocular...many have. Take care and again, welcome!

Hugs
Pat
