This post is right up my alley, I don't take the MG medications because I react to badly to them. I have to control my MG with rest and mental awareness, if I know I have to go food shopping, I make it the only big thing I do that day. If I want to go out with my friends, I do nothing the day before and pace myself when I am out {we usually only sit around and gab anyway} I carry a sheet of paper with me explaining my health condition along with Dr info and ins. info. I also have to take Benadryl with anything I take. I also have to carry an epi pen with me just in case. You can live without the MG meds, its just a little more work to control the MG.
