Myasthenia Gravis Support Group
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular disease leading to fluctuating muscle weakness and fatiguability. The hallmark of myasthenia gravis is muscle weakness that increases during periods of activity and improves after periods of rest. Although myasthenia gravis may affect any voluntary muscle, muscles that control eye and eyelid movement, facial expression, and...
I will check these out tonight.
I have some fasiculations though not to your or Ross' degree. It drives me crazy when it's active. It's amazing how you can actually see your muscles jump and move on video!
I am so sorry the loss of your good friend and mentor.
Was also saddened to read of another fellow MG'er lost. I followed Steven's MG story on the support site helped start.. I was a reader but rarely if any ever, a contributor (I know, hard to believe!). He was a warrior who fought the good fight while always lifting others.

Rest in Peace, Steven Taylor.
Kerry,
I am so sorry, you have lost these two good friends.
One - with MG as a contributing factor.
My sympathies to you, and to their families.
Looking at your blog, and videos.

By the way, how much do the coins weigh? I want to see who's stronger.
Be well.

I wish you could have PLEX treatment, more often.
Your blogs & videos are very instructive.
Maybe it's time - for more of us to blog, or to show videos of our conditions. (People like me.) To share with our MG buddies, to show symptoms to each other.
And also, maybe? To raise some public awareness.
Whew - have you ever seen Kerry's youtube video? Where he uses a needle, like a neurologist making a diagnosis; to show loss of sensitivity, on his limbs. This is a man with courage!
Kerry & I - do have - a similar package of symptoms. We use slightly different names for these symptoms, but we are only using names, as they are given to us, by our different doctors & different medical world.
The CFS that I have - is severe. (Yeah well, so what. Join the club, right?) My mind wants to say, ''the CFS is violent''.
Yet that is not what CFS looks like, to someone else, observing heavy-duty symptoms. With heavy-duty symptoms, the muscles in your limbs - fire so rapidly, that to an outside viewer, you have become paralyzed. You are a new citizen of pain-city, laid out like a log, unable to breathe, unable to swallow, unable to talk.
I take it back. Maybe videos aren't such a good idea!

Thank you for your very informative videos and blog, they have helped me more than you know.

Also, very sorry about your loss!

Your video of fasiculations is interesting. I also have fasciculations but not to the degree you do. Mine tend to be all over but more often in my arms and face. They are annoying but come and go thank goodness. I used to blame them on the mestinon but it has become obvious that mestinon is not the culprit.
