Hi Larry. My 15 yr old daughter was diagnosed with generalized MG when she was 13. There are a few of us "moms" on this site. Our hearts especially go out to the young ones like yourself. Welcome. Sarah

I'm another Mom. My daughter was diagnosed in 1996 at the age of 19. She is now 33 and is currently in the hospital for plasma exchanges. Feel free to ask any questions you have. Lots of us have years of experience in dealing with mg, but you have to realize that everyone is different. The things that work for one don't work for another. We wish you the best and again feel free to ask us anything. Marcia

im taking mestinon time release and the generic brand of it. When i first diagnosed i was taking prednistone as well but after i showed improvements with just mestinon the dr removed me from prednistone.
one thing i've learned is that you cant be stressed out a lot and sometimes you have to wait to do things. But what you can do is try to revolve your day around your meds and then once you get stronger you can do more things.
