Default New here :)

Hey guys! My name is Garett and I was diagnosed with MG in February of last year. I was having some double vision in extreme upper gaze, originally they were looking towards MS..but after two clear MRI's, striational antibodies tripling-quadrupling every 3-6 months, and two CT's showing remaniscing thymic tissue...it's safe to say I have MG.

A little about myself: I'm 25 going on 16. I have been married for 6 and 1/2 years, married my high school sweetheart <3. I'm a nurse by trade, but am much happier being a beach bum! I have one son and one on the way. My wife is also a nurse.

I live in one of the hotter places in the US, it was 80 out yesterday..sorry to all you northern people : / but I'm sure you enjoy your cooler summers when it's in the triple digits here. I'm a pretty active person, been slowing down a bit though. I enjoy bicycling, kayaking, and most recently sailing.

One last thing. I'm still in some disbelief that I have MG. I have had a lot of episodes where I feel very weak, but I just attribute it to stress, lack of sleep, or being out of shape. Denial works wonders.

Looking forward to hearing from all of you and having some good talks here.
