Alice,

I'm not sure if I have MG or not but my symptoms are definitely there.

What you said was very informative. How do you get to the level of acceptance to where you are at? How do you get family and friends to understand the illness?

We have had situations before where we have needed assistance and understanding of medical situations and family/friends did not 'get it' at all. This really has me concerned. I h ave a feeling they will just take one look at me and laugh. All they will see is- 'hypochondriac'.

I've dealt with the symptoms for over five years. It has taken that long to get a dx. They all think it is in my head. It took my DH til yesterday to figure that out. Definitely- not sure how I will be able to get help or support in my situation and right now it is very bad. If it is the right dx, I hope the medicine will help it get better to some degree. I'm really worried- I have asthma really bad. That scares me a lot.
