Default One for the stickies?

Wow Whirlwind!

This is an excellent question that I guess we should all remember to mention to all "newbies".

I live in Denver, CO and 3 of 4 hospitals I've been have in an awful lot of people that wouldn't know what to do. Luckily, the Masthenia Gravis Foundation of American has several brochures available for MGer's and one of them is designed to stay with you. It includes information for health care professionals. Here's the link to that brochure:

We should all have one on us at all times, I think. Just in case.

MGFA has lots of good information. I encourage you to visit their website and just explore all the different tabs, etc.

Hope this helps you!

Love, Becky
