    For 2025, I’d love to focus on feeling better overall and being more active, even if it means starting small. I also want to eat healthier, though I know it won’t be easy at first. I’d like to strengthen relationships with my family and friends too.

    I want to get a better handle on my sleep. After paying for CPAP gear out of pocket for 20 years, I’ve been able get another sleep test and am now set up with my health insurance company. I want a newer machine with an app with lots of data to measure my sleep habits.

      I think that’s a great goal Greg! Not getting adequate sleep definitely messes with my MG. How goes the process of getting a new CPAP? I have a BiPap which helps tremendously.

    2025 is going to be a rebuilding year for my health.

    Eating healthier, by cooking my own meals, so I can loose about 40-50 lbs., which my doctor states will keep me off of any heart medications, like Blood Pressure or Cholesterol medications. Both are very close to his limits, for putting me on medications, after my last labs came back.

    Good God, I don’t want any more medications in my medicine cabinet, other than the ones for my MG, which I would love to eliminate too.

    Exercising more, to keep my body in shape, as I fuel it with healthier food. I would love to get back into the pool and swim laps like I used to.

    I am curious about a Sleep Study as well, although I do get plenty of sleep. But, I am not sure just how good it actually is. From what I understand, a Sleep Study can be very beneficial. A friend of mine when through one last year and found out he should use a CPAP for better sleep and to get a healthier nights sleep.

      I think these are great goals!

      I get plenty of sleep, but find that my oxygen dips to 70% or below because my breathing gets so shallow. My diaphragm is affected by my MG. So I have a bi-pap. When you do your sleep study, if you get one, make sure to ask your doctor about a bi-pap versus a cpap and what their recommendations would be. Most folks with MG tend to do better with a bi-pap.

      I do my best to workout and strength train as well. It helps that my hubby is a personal trainer and has a gym in town. 😀 I’ve written a few articles for my column, The Whispered Roar, about my experiences. This is one of the more recent ones, if you feel like a little light reading.
