I'm so glad that you got a diagnosis - now you can move on from here. No, it's not great to have MG, but at least now you know what you are dealing with. Now, your other doctors will know that you have this and that will be a VERY valuable information point from which to work in the future. Plus, your doctor will know which medications to avoid when treating other symptoms - that could literally mean the difference between life and death!

I don't think that some people realize how very important a positive diagnosis can be, but for us it means that our doctors aren't chasing symptoms trying to figure out what is wrong (or thinking that it's all in our heads). I got a "fluke" early diagnosis, but I realized that some of the mild things that I had been experiencing for the past couple of years had probably been early indications of MG. It's such a relief to know that there was a REASON that I was being so lazy!
