MG Wallet Card
 
Here is a Myasthenia Gravis Wallet Card from the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of Illinois.

http://www.myastheniagravis.org/PDFs/Wallet_Card.pdf

You print it at home, after adding personal contact information.

It could come in hand, but I hope you never need it.

I would also add to that a list of contraindicated meds for MG, any allergies or any adverse reactions to drugs and resulting symptoms, past surgeries/hospitalizations and the reasons, antibiotics you can tolerate, any implants, and all of your doctors and their phone numbers. You should also list any other health conditions, even if you aren't on medications for them.

I might also add:

Please contact my neurologist and/or pulmonologist for consultation or further instruction.

You can also put a description such as:

“Arterial blood gas measurements are a relatively insensitive measure of impending respiratory decompensation in MG since the initial changes are consistent with hyperventilation and are usually attributed to anxiety. By the time CO2 retention occurs, the respiratory muscles have already begun to decompensate.”

Add what you feel you need to in order to have the care you deserve.
