How has coping with your MG and accommodating been going this holiday season?
Do you plan to take New Year's Eve easy or have plans for a party or event? How are you anticipating it? Do you feel good or uneasy about even more going on this holiday season?
How can you realign yourself after all the hustle and bustle to get your head in a good mental space to start the new year?
Thank you Abby! I appreciate your kind words. My wife and I live in Redford, MI. We have a daughter who lives and works in Howell, MI. She'll be over for Christmas!
I liked that article from the lady who stopped celebrating Christmas, and started thinking about her own mental health.
Thank you again Abby!I had to leave my job when my diagnosis was confirmed:Mg!
I couldn't do my job any more, climb ladders, fix things, work with tools. I was in the hospital for a month and a half. Had the surgery done on the thymus.
I got word from work h.r. that they have to let me go. I've been away too long. I lost my insurance! My wife and I are scrambling now to get insurance. My wife is busting her butt on the phone talking to h.r. other insurance people. I'm not allowed to drive, climb stairs,or ladders. So yes the holidays are really stressing me out.I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your insurance and that all of these stressors are adding up. An MG diagnosis can lead to so many unexpected twists and turns; during this time of year managing all of it can feel so overwhelming.
