Meet Our New Forum Moderator – Shawna Barnes
Good day to all!
I’m excited to be here and to help in any way I can.
My MG journey started in 2011 when I was medically retired from the Army after I began having “weird symptoms” during a deployment to Iraq (and exposure to open burn bits and all kinds of lovely things one shouldn’t be exposed to). It took my nearly seven years of fighting and advocacy in the VA to get my diagnosis of seronegative generalized myasthenia gravis.
I have an alphabet soup list of diagnosis’ but some of the heavy hitters are MG, PTSD, fibromyalgia, cervical dystonia, osteopenia, hypermobility disorder, seizure disorder, OAB (overactive bladder) and degenerative disc disease.
I live in Wisconsin with my husband of 11 years, our two doggos and two cats.
I own two businesses and help hubby run his.
I am a no BS, tough love, goofy, sarcastic, solution oriented kinda gal.
I’m also a columnist for MG News and have been writing a weekly column since January 2022. My column is called The Whispered Roar.
