    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.

      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

    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 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.
