Default Hello

Hi I am 32 years old and was diagnosed with Myasthenia b/w 18 months and 2 years of age. It wasn't until I was in my 20's I was told I actually had Congenital Myasthenia. I have controlled most symptoms with Mestinon other than the occasional double vision and weakness.
In 1998, our first son was born. I developed post pardum cardiomyopathy after his birth. I am not sure if the pregnancy weakened me or the PPCM itself did, but every two years since I have gone back in the hospital with a MG crisis.
Due to having the congenital type of mg, a Thyectomy (I know I didn't spell that right) would not benefit me. I am glad to have found this board!
