Geez, rogerm213, I wasn't saying that YOU are foolish. MG is deceptive and can fool anyone. That doesn't make you foolish nor does it mean you have to give up what you do.

There are some of us, however, that have HAD TO give up what we do in order to survive the day and do "some" of what we want to do. It's all a matter of degree. I'm not going to give up my writing or design for this disease, though there are periods of time when I have to. And I am in no way saying that any of you should give up what you want to do but MG often has the last say about that.

I was trying to give tips on how to do it WELL when you decide to do it. You are still newbies, right? Or do you all know everything there is to know about MG? None of us, not even doctors and researchers, know everything there is to know about it. But for patients, not knowing certain things - like staying cool - can be dangerous.

Adam, I'm glad you feel that it's right for you to take a risk to run. But what I do know, from personal experience, is that when you push MG, there's no way to predict how far it will go at pushing right back. You can Google "cooling vests" and other ways to stay cool while running.

Please just be prepared ahead of time, no matter what you do.
