OK, so my neuro is going to refer me to a physical therapist--he says he'll find one who has some understanding of MG. I am hoping the PT can help me understand what's causing me to walk so funny, and show me how to get around without doing any damage to my joints. I now have a very exaggerated limp, and I'm not sure why--it may be that my hip is weak and can't bear much weight.

Meanwhile, I am really having trouble getting around. It's not that I can't walk, and there's no pain (I am grateful for no pain). But even crossing a room is such a big production. Frustrating, since otherwise I feel pretty good, and I want to do stuff. This disease requires endless patience.
