One other thing that you might find is helpful is a reclining chair of some sort - the more we "pamper" our muscles, the better. A reclining chair allows you to take stress off of your skeletal muscles.

We've even taken to carrying a lightweight rocking chair (like for camping) in the car for me - I find a comfortable angle, put something under my feet, and I am able to hang out with people for a while.

You never realize how many muscles are required to hold your body in an upright position until you have a disease like MG - I've had to quit going to church because I get tired FROM SITTING (pathetic, huh? - but that's MG for ya).

Of course, that's the "good" thing about getting an MG diagnosis - you have an "excuse" for why you feel so tired, and you can allow yourself to take it easy. It's hard at first, but with time you learn to feel less guilty about it....
