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

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
