Hello Everyone!

I haven't been on in a while and was diagnosed back in 2008 with MG. I wanted to give everyone an update. I have recovered emotional and physically. Most of the physicians in my area were convinced that everything was psychological so getting a diagnosis was difficult. My symptoms were confined to the bulbar region. Anyways, as of now my symptoms are very very mild. I have switched to a vegetarian diet and I now play beach and indoor volleyball a couple of times a week. I am also 60 days into the P90x workout. I truly believe the best thing I have done naturally to help my condition is the diet. I feel absolutely wonderful and not to mention I have cut out a lot of the chemicals and hormones that are in meat. I am not a physician so I am not giving any kind of medical advice I just thought I would pop in and let everyone know what has worked for me. I think a long time ago I saw something about a lady that changed her diet and it really helped her fight with MG. Its working for me. Good Luck everyone and remember this is our life, not MG's.

That's great that you've found some relief through your diet and activity.

It's amazing that all people don't have autoimmune diseases, given how much crap is in our foods, water, vaccines, paints, etc. If toxins can make our health worse, why wouldn't a lack of them help make us feel better?

I hope you continue to feel great.

I have found that every diet change I make is helpful. Good food makes us feel better I have no doubt.

I agree. Just incase anyone was wondering I was diagnosed by two different blood tests at two different facilities. I didn't pass the single fiber emg which they only tested my forehead and face for some reason. Good Luck everyone!

Strizzlow, was it the standard blood test? And my neuro refused to do another blood test on me as she said the percentage of testing positive once tested negative was small....and she is cost person so she wouldnt order a second test tho the last one was 2 years prior.

Annie59,

I'm seroneg and at my last neuro apt, it was suggested that we retest for antibodies. They said they have some mg'ers who didn't show antibodies until their third or fourth blood draw (over 2 -3 year time frame).

I saw no reason to retest since there would be no difference in the treatment plan. Why do I care if I have the antibodies - when I respond so well to Mestinon!!
