Default Re: MS and MG

It will get easier as you go along. Being able to test your own lung function will empower you and before long you won't worry about it as much. For me i felt horrible back and chest pain and i could barely talk above a whisper and i had to take breaths in the middle of sentences. I am not sure how it usually happens, but for me it was pretty noticeable. If you feel it is really on your mind every minute, put a spirometer and oximeter in a purse or backpack. Then if you ever get stressed about your breathing, you can test it. The more you test it and realize what feels normal for you, the less you will worry about it each day.

I'm sorry to hear about the diagnosis of MS and MG, I'm sure it's a shock. None of us ever expected to be thrown into this medical world so unkindly, and for many of us, so suddenly. I like your idea about getting healthier by working out. I would talk to your docs (and therapists) to see what they recommend for you. Getting healthier will definitely improve how your body handles everything. I haven't really gotten deep into researching it yet, but supposedly there are alot of diets that really help MS symptoms.

Best of luck with everything. Keep us updated on how you are doing.
