Hi everyone,

I have been lurking the pages for over two weeks. I finally decided to register and post with other MG'ers! I will share my story later. Trying to rest but the prednisone won't allow me. So I'm going to pray and meditate!

Peace and blessings

From peeping to one of our peeps. Welcome, NinaMaxine. Do you like to be called Nina?

A lot of people have insomnia with Pred.

I hope you'll share when you're able to. You'll find that everyone here is very supportive and has a lot to share.

Annie

Look forward to hearing your story. Glad you wanted to join after peeping!

Welcome Nina the first time I told my story really helped me
I'm sure you will find it helpful

Hi all,

I got diagnosed in June 2009 after walking around with double vision for almost 2 months. Shortly after my arms started getting weak and I found myself being very fatigued. When walking upstairs my heart would start pumping like crazy! I was in the tub and almost fell out when reaching for the soap. I got out the tub where I was feeling so weak. I called my sister and told her something was seriously wrong and that I was dying. My sister started crying and screaming I was not dying. But I beg to differ, my body was leaving me and I had this peace come up on me that I can't explain! My family prayed me through because as I lay in bed looking at the ceiling I knew it wasn't my time yet!
And whatever I was going through it wasn't about me
But about helping those get through! We will make it through this together! I'm so thankful I found y'all!
