Short Bio

I am 81 yrs. old and was diagnosed with MG at the age of 40 yrs.  I was in nursing school, doing very well with my studies and loving it.  I was getting more tired during my training, finally saw my doctor when ptosis was really bad.  Sent to a university where I was diagnosed during a ten day stay.  I had a lot of pain in my legs when active and was told, no pain with MG.  Retired now, seronegative for MG and RA. Still have leg pain; there is a problem with leg muscles; that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.  Will never know what the  problem is, but started with the MG.  I still have trouble with weakness and need a lot of sleep.  Am having IVIG treatments once a month for 4 days.
