Welcome to the place place for support. I too was in my 20s when I was DXed and was so happy to have an answer {I went years being told I was crazy}

The next time you are weak where you can't lift your arms, go to the E.R. I see you live in the U.S. so you know they have emergency medicaid. If you have to quit your job and go on S.S. Disability than so be it {I did for a few years}

Take heart, some of us do go into remission, be it with medication {or in my case without meds} I had 2 small boys at the time and my MG was so bad I couldn't hold my babies bottle but I did survive and I am sure you will too!

Now 19 years later I am back on my medication and not working but I have learned when to slow down and when I can't do something I don't, I am sure you know NOT to push yourself, the more you push the weaker you get.

So PLEASE go to the E.R. tell them you have MG but no insurance and you need emergency medicaid. You may be surprised at the help you can recieve.

Good luck and please keep us posted, again, welcome to our family.
