Alice, I have a question and perhaps you can help me out. 6 weeks ago I ran a half marathon. My time was off but I figured it was because I had done another half just 2 weeks earlier. 4 weeks go I was still running but noticed I was tiring quickly. 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with MG and it was effecting vision, hands, arms and legs. I was sent the next day to begin a series of 5 plasmapheresis treatments which are now done. I am taking 80mg of prednisone every other day and my vision while much better is still suspect when riding in a vehicle.

My question is when I feel up to it should I try some form of light exercise a brisk walk perhaps? Or am I better just laying low for the next 3 weeks until I see my neurologist again? I do find a brisk walk tires me and I get out of breath. What would be better in the long run for recovery?

I was supposed to be doing another half marathon next weekend but instead I am going with friends to cheer them on. Life has changed for me in the blink of an eye and I have so much to learn.
