I was first diagnosed with MG in 2006 after a few months going between my GP and the Hospital.

I spent 10 weeks sitting on a Lazy Boy chair and leaning on an Ironing Board trying to get to sleep. If I lay down I stopped breathing and was rushed to hospital.

After one admission to emergency and 10 hours of test, the doctors were convinced that my problem was psychological The released me from the hospital and told me to see a phyciatrist. I had another rush trip to the hospital and fortunately this time a Neuro who specializes in my condition was visiting in the hospital. He diagnosed MG and prescribed meds for it unfortunately the doctor put the wrong dosage and for the first few days I had up to 3 hours when I was almost normal. Once the dosage was sorted things looked up.
