MG Crisis-What Triggered Yours?
Have you had an MG crisis (https://myasthenia-gravis.com/crisis)? If yes, do you have an idea of what triggered it?
Reverse shoulder replacement seems to have triggered full blown flair before I was diagnosed with MG.
I have had three flares in the last two years and all involved travel: a cruise to Alaska, a camping trip and a 3-day road trip. I don't think any were really very stressful. I think it's more getting out of my normal routine and maybe letting myself get too tired. I still travel a bit, but I'm pretty careful.
It's awesome that you can still travel some, even with the challenges of MG flares. It sounds like you've learned a lot about your limits and how to manage your health while on the go!
Jodi, Team MemberI always go to turkey 4.30 hrs plane but since I've been diagnosed last year I booked turkey but I found it so stressful never again will I fly
My first and only crisis was a fight with my husband. I stress easely and I don't let anyone argue with me anymore, I rather walk away.
It's great that you’ve found a way to handle conflicts by walking away. I hope this new year brings you peace and happiness!
Jodi, Team MemberI’m so glad to hear you’re aware of a stressor that impacts your MG. Learning to walk away and let go can be incredibly challenging, but I’m so glad to hear that you’re putting your health first. There is a direct correlation between stress and MG, flares or crisis’. It’s one of the reasons why I have embraced my mindfulness practice that the degree that I have as it allows me to except where I’m at without touch and most importantly help helps me learn how to let go. It sounds like you’ve found this for yourself as well ❄️ Team member, Deborah. ❄️
