    Good Afternoon,

    After a lapse in infusion due to good ole insurance I had to be intubated for four days. Has anyone else experienced this severity of breathing issue?

    Thank you,

    Jennifer

    I had my first MG crisis Memorial Day weekend 2022. I made it to the ER just in time. I walked in with my wife, sat down and 3 days later woke up in the ICU with ivs, tubes and mittens! I was to say a bit disoriented and was told I was very lucky ( blessed)…my 2nd crisis/flare happened March 2023 but this time I was aware of the situation and did not need intubation… but spent 10 days in icu, had plasmapheresis treatment and continued with my drugs…

    I’m finally back to my normal….
