Was I just laughing/smiling more than usual or was it MG? I've had the same breathing thing too - feeling like it's hard to take a full breath but not sure if it was MG or anxiety. I'm trying to listen to my body but since I'm young and otherwise very healthy and active, I don't want to make more of this than it is (since I was diagnosed with a mild case - I know that for others MG is certainly a very big deal and not to be taken lightly), if that makes sense. Maybe we can share tips as we start to figure it out :).

I'm only Mestinon right now too. The uncertainty of what MG may bring in the future is a challenge but I've also tried to use it as motivation to take the absolute best care of myself that I can. I am strict about going to bed on time, I don't drink, and I eat only whole foods. Those have certainly been really positive changes for me.
