Default myasthenia gravis

gidday I was chatting to a fellow MG at hospital while on plasma exchange ( monthly ) anyway he was sure his MG came on when he had his first ani flu injection ( bells ringing in my head ) I had my first ant flu injection after 65 as GP insisted and same year diagnosed with MG ( anti flu can cause guilliame barre disease which is nuero ) later chatting to my MD and consulting records found whenever yearly flu infuction I go into a big "downer" also recent swine flu sent me crashing, right up to my 60,s I have always been a very fit person, running 10K several times a week,never smoked, mild social light beer drinker, wife always had me on a good diet " so why me " I did have an very stressfull job and took early retirement at 62 but was still very fit and healthy untill my 65 where I had my first goverment paid free anti flu injection
CAN ANYONE ELSE RELATE TO THIS STORY

Default Hi John....

Well gidday to YOU too mate~

I'm very sorry to hear about your battle! I can relate to your frustrations...especially when we get to the age when we're past all the hard work of raising our kids etc, and ready to enjoy a ....... new? life ? and BAM
some #$@&% condition invites itself into our health and we have a new fight on our hands........ blast!

Anyway I just wanted to say that I'm glad you've found this wonderful forum. You'll be amazed at the amount of support, kindness, caring, and knowledge there is to be shared here!

There are quite a few wonderful folks from Aussie!
It's good to have you!!



Don't lose hope
Caring
Rae

Hi John
and welcome from a fellow MGer and Aussie, I'm over in Western Australia.
I see you have been directed over to the MG forum, where you will probably get more answers to your question.
Yes I to was fit and healthy, still not sure what set me off on the downward spiral.
Look forward to seeing you around
Kate
