Tyson, Running? Do you mean as in running late? I love to run but it's not even a thought in my head anymore.

I know how hard it is to have MG when you've been athletic. I was quite athletic too, though always in short spurts (long story). But pushing your physical self won't help right now.

There are some exercises you can do that are easier on your MG that can still keep your muscles in shape. I would highly suggest having a few appts. with a physical therapist, preferably in a neurologist's clinic who understand neuromuscular diseases, who can show you how to keep the new you fit.

I have a Total Gym, which is nice and fluid and adjustable. That and a recumbant bike and lighter hand weights are about all I can do these days.

I know how frustrating it is to see your body go downhill. But you don't want to end up in a crisis, being unable to breathe or move!!! Just take it slow and steady. Good luck.
