Hi Gene,

welcome to the forum.
I know all about fingers not working Around the time I was diagnosed I use to be able to type at 30 words per minute, but I was down to two finger typing, very frustrating.
hope you find some help here, we are a pretty happy helpful bunch here
take care
Kate

Hi Gene, welcome to this forum!
There is no age for MG, mine started about 2 years ago and I will hit 70 next month…Fortunately I'm about off the hook with only some weakness left in the legs.
It seems you've found a good neuro, an appropriate treatment should follow and be patient when it starts!
Maurice.

Welcome, Gene.
Another one my age! I like the way you put it .
I hope all goes smoothly for your diagnosis and treatment. Keep us posted, ok?
How many grandchildren, how old, and g-daughters or g-sons? I have a almost 10 year old g-daughter and she is the most wonderful little person. I'm trying to convince her to be a GOOD neuro when she grows up!
Can't wait to hear how everything goes for you!

Hugs!
