What household tasks are difficult for you?

What household tasks are difficult for you because of your MG?

  1. I was having problems getting dressed due to weakness. I could not get a shirt on because I couldn't lift my arms enough. I would put my shirt on the bed and lay down into it. Getting my trousers up could also be difficult. It has made for a few amusing stories. Things have been better; I have only been getting treatments for about a month now. I think they are helping, but it could also be a natural ebb and flow.

    1. Most household chores are impossible for me to complete! I start and my kids thankfully will help at times to finish them. The heat (especially here in GA) make everything 100x worse

      1. I was diagnosed a few months ago and I struggle with everything walking standing lifting breathing.

        1. All household tasks are difficult if not impossible due to my MG. Even with my walker I have frequent falls. Weakness in my neck and limbs and difficulty breathing make most tasks impossible, even if I'm sitting.
