Babs: I grew up in Winston-Salem but have been in Columbia, SC since 1989. My husband has relatives in Goldsboro. Good BBQ! We had our family reunion there in 2007. Nice city. We visited the little park and took our grandchildren on the old train ride. Anyway, I was DX 2/09 with Ocular MG. My mother has Temporal Arteritis and had for many years. The symptoms are similar to Ocular MG. In fact, I wonder if I should be tested for TA. My mother and I are very similar as well. She had it - I'll get it. I would like to learn more about the genetics of MG. I have wondered if mother might have MG as well, but she did test positive for TA, so probably not. Where do you live now, Babs? Would love to keep in touch through the website. Have a good afternoon. Keep smiling.
