Now, on the show, they don't talk much about MG, they just say the name. I still find it fascinating that they thought to "highlight" a rarely known disorder.
I started watching Days when I was about five years old. lol Since MG was brought up as a possible dx for me I watched Suzanne's story lines with even more interest. I'm glad they mention it, but it would be nice if they could go into more detail about the illness. Perhaps she wants it that way. By the way, there is a pic of her on the MDA website.

I take it you watch Days too?
