Coping

I have had MG for two years... hospitalized in May 2024 and started 3 MG meds but stopped them on my own on Nov 1, 2024 as I had a paragraph of side effects for each ..eg. Prednisone...gained 10 lbs....then lost about 6 after stopping it. Recently I have severe numbness in my mouth....find it difficult ... not swallowing...but actually getting a liquid into my mouth...and my speech is much slower...difficult to speak properly....I think my voice sounds like someone who is having a stroke.....Does anyone else have these issues and if so were you treated for it? Cheers!

  1. I had numbness in my upper lip. Trouble swallowing. Trouble speaking. These are common MG symptoms. They are now well controlled by my medication regimen.
