Welcome RJTJ!

Sorry you have MG - - but glad that you have a solid dx and that you have found this forum. Lots of great folks here with first hand info that is freely shared.

Cruise around and get a feeling for the varying degrees of MG - - some here are severely challenged with their MG - - and others (like me) not so much.

What are your symptoms and how active are you able to be?

What meds have they started you on?

In general, for MG'ers:

Heat and cold both can each increase muscle weakness

Certain antibiotics (and other meds) are not a good idea (MDA site or google for specifics)

Stress will make you weaker

Lack of restful sleep will make you weaker

No two days will likely be the same (even with the same levels of medication and activity on your part!)

Don't let things you read scare you. You'll figure out how to best handle your MG with the help of your docs, your research, and by learning what your body is telling you (which only requires your time and attention and knowledge).

Sue
