I am new to everything and have a million questions, I'll try to be brief I have generalized myasthenia, have for a long time but only very recently diagnosed. I caught a respiratory virus that my kids had and developed a constant cough. Without my realizing what was happening (there is a myasthenia learning curve!) my muscles were weakening and weakening in my rib cage from the cough, and the pain became unreal, I could barely move from the pain. It has been months and the pain lessons a bit everyday, thank goodness, but it still feels very tight and weird in my ribs, hard to breath. I have no clue, is this what you all experience too? I'm so scared to get sick this winter, my myasthenia wasn't as bad in the past and I could get through a cough without this experience. Is recovery from a simple cough always this scary and taxing? What ever doctor says pain is not a part of this disease is crazy, pain is always my primary symptom, I notice it before the weakness sometimes. thanks everyone, i appreciate you all very much
