You might be starting over but it's really not always bad!

I have moderate MG but am able to work full time and stay pretty active as well. I'm no longer able to go rock-climbing, but I still try to get outside and do other active things. I should do more, but some days just fulfilling my work committments is enough. Learning to live within your limits is a huge MG lesson!

Take care of yourself and your kiddies and keep posting! It's great to hear everyone's perspectives on things.

Thank you for your experience with being active. Everytime I consider an activity now I worry that I may make my MG symptoms get bad again. I am missing being outdoors so much. I don't know where my limits are. Plus I love the warmth outdoors, I really love the heat of 90 to 110 degrees it feels great - can I still enjoy it? I will find out as time goes on.

Thank you and thank everyone for thoughts and experiences.
