Abby, up until recently I never really looked at any benefits to having MG. Your post made me think about it!

I'm learning to be more patient, I've always been fiercely independent, but now there are times I must rely on the help of others, sometimes I might have to wait for something or my "helper" might not do things exactly as I would, so patience is a must.

I've learned not to be so proud, sometimes walking is an issue, in the beginning I didn't want to be caught dead using a cane or walker, or hold someones arm. But now I say so what, better to use a device whenever needed than end up on my behind at the store or something.

I can't predict what this disease will rob from me in the future, but it has reminded me of the greatest benefit of all, that's the strength I get from family and friends, for without them life with MG would be much more difficult!

Thanks for making me think!

Rachel
