I know, right? Here's hoping that your treatment works so well that MG recedes into the background! Remember, the people in this forum are mostly not the success stories. There are plenty of those--it's just that when MG ceases to be an issue, most people naturally stop posting. So don't get the wrong impression.

When I got diagnosed, I wrote to an old acquaintance who had been diagnosed with MG 25 years ago. I had lost touch with her. She said she was doing fine, but that she had to remind herself not to overdo it. In the 25 years since I'd known her, she had raised seven kids, homeschooling them all through high school, and she was currently in grad school, and also teaching college courses. This leaves me wondering what "overdoing it" means in her mind!
