Smile Hello
What wonderful world the internet is that people can connect on such a forum as Neuro Talk.

This past month I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis and have just started on medications. My case is very mild so far (just affecting my eye) and I hope it stays that way! So far all my doctors have been great and I've been able to get appointments without delay to find out what my problem was. I'm 56 and up til now have been very healthy despite being overweight most of my life.

I'll be primarily hanging out in the MG section, but you never know where I'll pop up!

Hello Kathy, and welcome to NeuroTalk! This is a great place with lots of friendly, caring, and helpful people.

We're so glad you found us! I hang out in the MS forum. Feel free to pop in there if you'd like.

I am posting a link to the Myasthenia Gravis forum for you.

Default Visitor vs. Member
Thanks for the warm welcome. One non-medical technical question. The status under my member name shows Visitor. Since I registered, I assumed I'd be shown as member. Do I need to do anything else? I'm familiar with these types of forums and belong to Cruise Critics (love to cruise) and Timeshare Users Group (TUG) since we also enjoy our Marriott timeshares. Both these forums are similar in setup, access, etc.

Kathy

Welcome

It's good to have you here at NT. I'm not sure about your vistor question. Someone will be getting back to you on that, I'm sure.

I'm so sorry you're dx'ed with MG. You're not alone here. There's lots of people with MG and other health concerns here. We lean on each other and learn from each other.

Jump in wherever you want.

Thanks for the welcome. "Visitor" status has now changed to "New Member" status -- yea! Guess it takes a bit to kick in, or maybe reach a certain # of posts.
