I have been optimistic for over a year now but slowly losing that faith that I will return to that life I am just over 50 and was happily finding my Way and trailing a path post my 22 yr marriage. I found so much happiness riding my motorcycle and meeting new people traveling the U.S. I desperately long to return to that life but wonder if I should let go of that goal and try to reach something more attainable

    1. I cope with MG now with Plasmapheresis on a once every ten weeks and Soliris every other week they have been life changing for me

      1. I've been under really good control on 50 mg a day of generic Imuran but now, I'm seeing double by about 10 PM every night. If I increase my Imuran to 75 mg, I become immunocomprised so I just do all my reading earlier in the day. I also vertigo due to seeing double, so I use a cane to walk in the late evening top.

        1. I try to do whatever I have to do early in the AM----especially food shopping--or Dr appts
