Rach, I think you know what my answer will be: You are in serious trouble!!!

You too, Ally!

Mary, Who are you going to try to see?

I am drop dead serious, Rach, I'm afraid they are going to kill you before they buy some clues and help you. MG is all about weakness upon exertion. The worse the MG, the worse it gets with the littlest exertion.

This is serious too . . . you need to drop doing anything. And by that I mean EVERYTHING. And you have to do that for a week at the very least. No doing dishes. No going for walks. NOTHING. Without appropriate meds, that's the only way you will get better. Rest in bed and take trips to the bathroom. That's it. During my crisis, that's what I had to do for the first three weeks in order to feel better. And I was on meds.

And to get even MORE serious, you are about a hiccup away from a breathing crisis. Crashing quickly is what happens right before someone with MG can't breathe. And I mean it can be seconds before. You need to see someone NOW. And I'm not being an alarmist here. Go to the hospital where they treated you well and get someone, anyone, to help you. This is crazy, seriously crazy.

We don't want to lose you and that is where you are headed if things continue like this. You do not want to be intubated. It takes much longer to recover the worse you get. I wish I could swear right now because I am so angry.

Please, don't even type a response! Just stay cool and rest. And then let us know how you are. You'll be in my thoughts.

Annie
