Myasthenia Gravis’ Impact on Marriage/Relationships
It can be difficult enough to be compassionate with ourselves due to Myasthenia gravis. It is a very stressful rollercoaster.
Have a partner? That means double the stress! You may feel they don’t always understand what it is like for you, but they stress differently. And a lifelong illness is draining for everyone involved.
If your partner also serves as your caregiver, you will really relate to Shawna Barnes’ column (https://myastheniagravisnews.com/columns/being-caregiver-is-hard-different-men-husband-says/)! The column shares the perspective and thoughts of her husband and caregiver and the challenges and struggles they endure caring for someone who they love so deeply. The pressure MG has on everyone is a challenge.
