I have had lots going on for a couple of weeks.

Add some "situational stress" - (just an ordinary household problem that occured yesterday) (Sunday). The "fix" would have been a snap if I didn't have MG. Had to ask for help from adult son. Thankfully he was available and was able to "fix" the problem.

And then I got sick early this morning from last night's take-out food that my son and daughter in law brought to me yesterday. Should have known better. I don't usually eat Chinese take-out. Still feeling nauseated.

Still need to pick up a little from my visit from my helpers, son and DIL, and beautiful, active granddaughters - who are three and one.

Add a terrible head ache.

Wahhh wahhhh wahhhhh, I know. Not a big deal.


But it can be, for people with MG. And of course, others with chronic illness(es).

But today, for me it is a big deal. I know that other illness, infection, pain, etc. can exacerbate MG. So far that hasn't happened.

I just feel sick and tired and weak and want to stay under my covers all day.

Taking a day off from life - you know, the "I can touch you" world. At least I am going to try to.

Sorry for complaining.

I am complaining to this group and not to people around me. They KNOW when I am very ill, but this general "overall malaise" seems too insignifant to talk to family about.

I haven't seen hardly any posts like this. No problem with that. We all need the facts about myasthenia.

But just wondering -
???? Anyone else ever feel the need to "Take A Day Off From Life"????

I am very grateful I don't have a job or other responsibilities that must be taken care of today.

Because I am having a Not Feeling Well Day.

Sigh.........

Putting laptop away and going to take a big rest.

Be well, group. I hope no one else is is having one of these days...............

Ithink we all can relate. Do what you need to do (rest, vent, etc). Best wishes your day gets better.

By the way i have been told MSG no good for people with MG - not sure why but i have no special need for it so i try not to eat it.

Sending you some good energy....

Look forward to chat when you feel better again....

So sorry Sue. I actually schedule those days when my MG is getting the best of me. And it helps. TV or book and nothing else. My MG is bad the day after a stress - argument with my husband or any other stressful situation. Some guy went road rage on me the other day for no reason - he was in the wrong lane and got mad when I didn't drive off the road for him. He followed me for 10 miles. The next day - MG alert. So I took a day off from life and then the following day, I felt better.

Thanks for all of your concern.

After two days of very unpleasant symptoms, I awoke this morning feeling much better.

Extremely dehydrated, but taking lots of liquids - which are now staying with me.

Just received call from my neighbor (who knew I was "down for the count"). She sees and talks to many people. Seems as if the stomach flu is currently "prevalent" in our area.

So who knows what the "culprit" was? MSG or Stomach "Bug" ????

Just another "challenge" of "living a NORMAL life with MG".....

So it was a tummy bug that was behind you feeling so low which is made worse because of
MG -take a day off life - is something I have to do a lot and I try to except it but also make the most of the good days thou its taken a long time to realise it
