At my last appointment, I had a very intelligent young resident interview and examine me prior to seeing my doctor. She asked how MG has impacted my life. I told her that I had changed -- my interests/hobbies were now focused according to my current, limited abilities -- my life NOW is completely different from my life THEN. She seemed to understand. I think she will become a good doctor.

After reading this thread, I wonder........................am I part of the problem? Have I adjusted tooooooo well? When I go to my MG specialist, I no longer complain about what I can't do -- I've accepted my limitations -- I'm happy for what I can still do -- and rejoice for the little improvements (usually temporary) that I see along the way.

Attitudes like mine really COULD be confusing to doctors. Right??
