    • About Me

      I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis October of 2007. It is currently under control, though. Also, I have Bipolar Disorder, which, unfortunately, is not under control lol. In fact, I think that since my muscle disorder has been handled, all the racing thoughts, and mood swings, and hypomania has actually gotten worse. So if you have any issues with Bipolar, I'd love to hear your story =]

    • Close Myasthenia Gravis

      I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis last year, and its been a major trip, to say the least. I'm a lot better than I was last year, but I'm still not well enough to leave the house. Sometimes, I can't even get out of bed. I'm not sure what else to do, so I'll need some help. =]

      Treatments

      IVIG Somewhat Helpful
      Well, I actually had this, and another pill I was taking, so I'm not sure if this or the pill had helped.
      Mestinon Working / Worked
      It works for the most part. Only it really affected my sweat=/
      Thymectomy Working / Worked
      It has definitely helped me in the long run.
    • Close Bipolar Disorder - Teen

      I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, though just got off some medication that didn't work. I have a psychiatrist, though haven't seen her yet, so I am not really treated, but I can see and acknowledge the symptoms, and what state I'm in at the time.

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      I listen to music a lot to calm myself down when I'm in a manic state, or depressed, or even hypomanic. It helps for the most part, or, depending on what I'm listening to, it makes it worse.
      Pets Working / Worked
      I have a cat, and when I pet it, it tends to calm me down.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I talk to my parents all the time about what I'm feeling [whether they want to hear it or not] and most of the time it helps me emotionally.
      Abilify Not Working
      I was on it for over a month. It made me mood swings ten times worse and it increased stiffness in my muscles I have a muscle disorder so it made that worse Ive been hypomanic for the past 2 weeks and my mood swings have been off the charts! I do not recommend this at all.
      Depakote Working / Worked
      I was on Depakote for a short time twice and both times it helped me. I was calm I could think straight my thoughts werent racing and I slept.
