Disease vs Illness & Excersise

I refuse to categorize MG as a disease, as it sounds too.negative and dismal. MG could / can lead to it being fatal, but mostly if not treated _ combatted. If properly treated, an MG patient ill.live a full life.
As to excersize, I believe in pushing myself as much as possible, not letting this illness defeat me. There are days I can do more than others, but I will keep on trying until I can not go on.
In the last 10 years, since I was diagnosed with MG, my wife and I have been on 8 ocean cruises. We've been on various mini.vacations (3 to 5 days.each) and we have planned a 2 week vacation to.Europe this coming year.
I go to the gym 5 days.pet week, an hour to.90 minutes each visit, depending on my strength that day.
I know I will not live for ever, but I will live my life enjoying my time in this planet, and enjoying myself in the company of family and friends.
I WILL NOT GIVE IN TO MG, I will fight it the whole way. So..my parting words, take good care of yourselves, but enjoy each minute of the day.
