  • Myasthenia Gravis

    Tuesday, April 15, 2008 | A Sad story

    Is the most stressful Disease I've ever read/experienced in my entire life!
    It's completely random. One day, I could walk through different stores, and feel like a million bucks! The next day, I'm so weak I can't even lift myself out of bed!
    I think the most frustrating thing about this illness is that no one can really understand it. I'm living through it, and I still just don't get it!

  • Feeling scared

    Wednesday, June 10, 2009 | A Sad story

    My first month on Mestinon was amazing. I could see everything and no ghosts or multi-dimensional images. The second month has been the complete opposite and I sent a fax to my doc today asking if an increase in Mestinon would help.
    Two days ago, I took a nap at 2pm because my eyes hurt. When I woke up at 3:45pm I couldn't see much of anything. This is the first time I really have felt scared ...

I'm not opposed to working - I question how I can do ...

    I just found out today that a teacher at a special school slapped an autistic child. I was very upset. It just makes me so scared for my 6 y/o son. He still really isn't talking that much on his own and it just scares me to think someone could hurt him and I would never know. It really upsets me that the school that it happened at is a special education school! The teacher had the nerve to bl...
