There are two ways in my opinion-
One is to reach the public (with movies, books etc).
The other is to reach those physicians who take care of patients with MG and the way to do that is through medical journals and professional conferences.
I was thinking-what if we add up all the stories of patients whose diagnosis was delayed for many years, combine it with medical data (so it will be accepted to a serious journal) and then publish it as a case series?
I will be glad to write it (and hopefully find a neurologist who will be ready to be a co-author on this).
What do you think?

I like it Alice and want you to go for it. You may need to do a statistical data survey among members here to get some facts about all of us but I'm sure we all would help you. I think this study would be important not only to MD's but also to us RN's who see patients for a different condition upon admission and "Oh by the way, I have MG. That's nice, what is that?" Best of luck and thank you.
