MGFA Wellness Series 2023: Know Your Antibody
This is a great video from our fellow MG "warriors" who have shared their struggles with this malady. Fortunately, I am part of a great support group and look forward to our meetings where I've found support and validation. Mestanon works great for me, and in addition to eating a healthy diet, I go to the Y for the water exercise classes. My neurologist tells me, "You are handling it very well". As with all of you, I keep trying as each day presents its own unique challenges.

Thank you for this great information
What about Generalized Myasthenia Gravis?
Hi Lucy, MuSK MG is a subtype of generalized myasthenia gravis. It refers to the type of abnormal antibody that is responsible for the symptoms of the condition.
Thank you - This may help show my wife the reasons I am so fatigued. I have many other conditions that cause fatigue, and she has been very supportive, but I am sure it will help getting another persons perspective. Thank you!
So glad this was helpful to you!
Actually I am suffering from myasthenia gravis last 2 years
Which treatment you have taken
Horrible disease 😢
I have myasthenia gravis please suggest me which type food i eat
Many individuals with MG choose soft, easy-to-chew foods to lessen the strain on your jaw muscles. Others have tried the autoimmune protocol diet, which you can learn about here: health.clevelandclinic.org/aip-diet-autoimmune-protocol-diet. Always talk to your doctor before starting any kind of new diet or regime.
I was diagnosed in 2016. At age 35 married with 2 young children. Severe in my arms and legs. Had some very difficult years. I refused and still refuse to give in to the disease. My mindset has been with the advancements in medicine and modern science there will be a cure one day. That's what keeps me going
😊
God is good 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
My father got Myasthenia Gravis days after his first Covid vaccine he was forced to take in 2021 to be able to get a surgery he needed.
Thanks for this well done video. There has been so much progress toward better treatment since I was diagnosed 19 years ago. This gives me hope!
Agreed. Diagnosed in 2004. Treatments have improved along with more info. Just had my first round of Vyvgart. Seems to be helping with my energy in the afternoon.
well said, makes me feel good about the surgery i am about to do
I’ve been in remission for more than 8 years. I have videos about my journey. For me fasting, diet and high dose vitamin D3 was key to getting off meds and getting in remission.
😊

A best friend was recently diagnosed with MG. I learned a TON about MG watching this recording. Outstanding!
Great to hear! Thanks for the feedback.
Hello, I have been suffering from severe sinusitis for exactly 30 years. I am Brazilian, I am 45 years old and today they are treating me at the HC Hospital das Clínicas in São Paulo. I had a relapse because I had COVID and ended up with consequences, but with a lot of effort and prayers, today I am partially with limitations in my hands, I want to have better treatment for a better quality of life, and I know that in the United States everything is much more detailed and they give the best treatment in the world, I would like to know if you have any form of an exchange of treatment, as I have a dream of visiting the United States and taking part in the treatment of myasthenia gravis, I would really like to be able to go and get treatment there, could you tell me if there is any way for me to apply for a scholarship? study, oh please, I really want a better quality of life, I await your response and thank you
We are a great team together, but it's lonely on your own,we need each other to share stories. It's in this together condition.

I have mayastheniya gravis. I am from sri lanka. I'm girl .l am17 years old.
Mg? Did it gradually get like that? Or quickly?
Ask them to be as fast as possible. Even with a mouth prop, you'll probably still struggle with swallowing. Which, for me was the biggest issue I had when sitting in a dentist chair with my mouth open...
Anne south Africa. My daughter was diagnosed with my genetica. When she was 6 and is in remission since 12. She is 33 years old with 2 kids. Can it came back. Thank you
Great, thanks for sharing this
I seem to make this mistake every week, when I feel good one day I do too much and pay for it the next day. Slow learner... Watching this is educating me to be smarter with energy.
😊😊😊
Beautiful 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Thank you so much for this video. ! It helped me understanding more my OMG
how do you get meds? I am so tired
We recommend joining a meeting of our Seronegative Support Group. Others with seronegative MG can provide tips and point you to providers who are seronegative friendly. Right now there are also at least two clinical trials open to people with seronegative MG. You gain access to the treatment protocol through the trial. Visit myasthenia.org for info on our support group, and clinicaltrials.gov for more info on trials. Good luck to you.
This is great info. Thanks for recording it.
Can digestive issues and myasthenia gravis be related?
This is a rare but described complication of MG. Please talk to your doctor about your symptoms.
