  To everyone who had to take MG to uni with you, how did it go? How did you balance your work so you wouldn't stress yourself more? Was there anything in your routine that you had to change? What about social life, did having to rest more hinder you from making friends? Did you tell your professors about your mg?I'm kinda planning to go back to school but I don't know if my mg can handle it since i was diagnosed after i graduated

  hey guys so recently i realized that ive been having other speech problems, aside from the slurring. Lately ive been running out of breath while talking. Like I cant even talk in more than one sentence anymore. It would literally feel like i cant breath while talking so i have to stop and take a deep breath. Though its not always like this, most of the time its when my mestinon is wearing off but other times its just random which sucks because I cant even finish a story that I want to tell.is...

  Hello guys, i dont remember the exact date but around this time last year, i officially took my last dose of prednisone. Now 1 year later, i feel exactly the same. It isnt quite what i expected would happen.Anyway, on april 2015, i had a thymectomy. It was 4 months after i was officially diagnosed. My antibody test was off the roof (it was 1200 i think) and my neuro said that a thymectomy would clearly help surpress my symptoms.
