How can friends and family best support someone with MG?

How can loved ones support and comfort you? What strategies and tips do you have for communicating your needs with family and friends? For any caregivers, what are some ways you help or comfort someone with MG?

  1. I don't talk to them about MG because they try to t ell me how l feel and what to do

    1. Am aging alone with M.G. & other health issues & have NO one I can count on!

      1. I totally reject the suggested label of "pity party," which is truly incredibly insulting and betrays an amazing lack of sensitivity. People with MG need CONNECTION with others, since having MG is like living at the bottom of a deep well.

        1. Pity Party was written with Quotes so I can certainly understand what the writer meant. We all need to just VENT, at times --that's how I took what she meant, anyway!

      2. Everyone needs to see a nail in the head , YouTube
