I too have MG. I am 71 and have had it for app. 6 years. It is getting worse. I take the good days and thank the Lord for them and sleep the next 2-3 days due to a worsening condition after feeling good. God bless you Marie Smith. I think you were several years younger than me when we went to the same school. I graduated with honors from the University of Catastrophe. I got my Doctorate from the University of Hard Knocks. Just call me Jane.
