Hi, I'm new here and this is my first post. I was diagnosed in August 2012. Contacted the MG Foundation and was given some contact info for a woman in my town who was willing to talk to me. She was really great -- very forthcoming with information. Hearing about her experience, though, frightened the heck out of me (because I suspect it will be my future...). Spoke with another woman by phone who lives across the country and had a similar experience.

I'm probably too freshly diagnosed to fully appreciate hearing about people's stories. I know what can happen with this disease but I'm still in enough denial to hope that I won't be falling down in the street and/or unable to breathe.

Nevertheless, I really did appreciate the time they took to share their experience with me.
