Hi draggin'
I have generalized MG since May 2007 but for the first 6 or 7 months, my legs were not affected contrarily to my arm, jaw and swallowing capabilities. Then within 2 weeks, my legs became weak and my arms rather strong...! I never had breathing problems. I was (and still am) treated my Mestinon, Pred and Cellcept. A year ago, before my relapse, my walking capability was rather decent, like a gentle 2 hr hike but now it is reduced to a 1 hr walk on flat ground although I regularly pratice 25 minute swims... I think of using a stepper but 2 minutes are enough. At one time, I did that 3 times a day and it was worthwhile. Maybe part of the problem is muscle atrophy due to lack of exercise and Pred. MG is definitely a strange ailment! Maurice. |
