    2. I was 9. I had Thymectomy when I was 11. I am 39 now. The last 5 years I went on strike against my MG. For the first time since I was diagnosed I havn't taken any medicine. I was doing really good at first, about 3 1/2 years! But here lately, definately thinking I need to make an appointment with my neurologist.

      1. Love to hear it!! Have you ever explored the hashtags for #myastheniagravis, #myastheniagraviswarrior, #MGwarrior on social media to find and connect with others?
