Has anyone here experienced Myasthenia Gravis or is currently managing it? What symptoms did you notice first, and what treatment or lifestyle changes helped you the most?

Myasthenia Gravis is a rare autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that causes muscle weakness, often starting with drooping eyelids, double vision, or difficulty in speaking, chewing, or swallowing. The symptoms usually worsen with activity and improve with rest. It's unpredictable and can affect people differently.

Treatment options include medications like Mestinon, steroids, IVIG, or plasmapheresis, and in some cases, thymectomy. Coping with this condition can be both physically and emotionally challenging.

Let’s start a supportive thread—whether you're newly diagnosed, have been living with MG for years, or are supporting a loved one. Your experience or advice could make a real difference for someone else here.
