I did read somewhere that it could take up to as long as 8 years to diagnose a female with atypical MG as compared to only 2 for a male. If this is true and given that MG is already more prevalent with the female population to start with, then why would that be?

A well-known MG expert said in a conference I attended on MG in 2004 (yes, an MGFA conference) that it takes an average of one year for a man to be diagnosed with MG but an average of seven years for a woman to be. I don't know what was more disturbing; the fact that it takes that long or the fact that he seemed to be accepting of it.
If our world does not stop treating women like second class citizens, we women may bring hysteria to a whole new level. This has to stop. Last edited by AnnieB3; 01-05-2013 at 11:17 PM. |
