I’ve been recently been diagnosed with MG and I am overwhelmed.

I never think I would taking the medicine prescribed. I feel I am having Chemotherapy and the side effects scare me.

  1. You are not alone. Yes, this can be and is scary. But keep looking for those of us that have been through it. You will find some incourageing people who have been through it and really want to help. I think most of the meds out there for mg their benefits far out weight any side effects.

    1. Please don't be scared. It will get better. Hang in there. The early months of treatment are the worst. But the MG drugs will moderate your symptoms, and the side effects will be tolerable. Trust me. In the beginning I asked my doctor for Xanax, which really helped with my anxiety. Feeling frightened and anxious only makes MG worse.
