I contracted Covid 19 3 months after being diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis and was in a crisis. This was in 2020. I have always wondered if the combination of the 2 is why I had it so bad. I did have the pneumonia and blood clot in the lungs. I spent 24 days in the hospital. Unfortunately in March of 2022 the pulmonologist diagnosed me with COPD from the covid. I am a non smoker. I am 65 years old. So we are still coming to terms with everything almost 2 years later and still on oxygen.

I have taken Imuran for almost 2 years. I was on Humira for several years for RA and then developed MG so I was pulled. I take Imuran and have finally got down to 5 mg of prednisone for my MG and have not had any side effects from it. Good luck

In September of 2020 I was transferd to KU Medical Center. I was in a MG crisis which was when I found out I had MG. In November 2020 I tested positive for Covid. I was admitted to ICU where I fought for my life. 24 days later I was able to go home very very weak. I have been fighting extreme fatigue. I am on oxygen never was before Covid. I have just recently been diagnosed with COPD I have never been a smoker. A lot of my issues is a combination of Covid and MG according to the doctors. I am at this time fully vaccinated with 3 full vaccinations of Moderna. I was in the hospital 2021 6 times with respertory infections. I am not writing this for pity, I am back at work in an elementary library where I have worked for 18 years. I walk the halls with my oxygen and walker but I keep moving forward and still holding out hope to get off oxygen. If not we will deal with it. I have an excellent support from my family and friends, and am looking forward to 2022.
