I was diagnosed with MG in 2018 at age 65. Mt first neurologist was a strong proponent of a vegan lifestyle and necessary supplements to accompany that lifestyle. As a committed carnivore, I could not buy in to the suggested lifestyle but did accept the supplements be proposed. I have been on a longtime regimen of supplements which I think has helped keep me healthy and stronger than I might otherwise be. I currently take fish oil, Super B-Complex, a daily multivitamin, D3 calcium citrate, and biotin. I am also on 150 mg azathioprine and 20 mg prednisone since June.   Overall, I am doing very well and am still working, I climb 2 stories to my office each day and average 4-6000 steps per day.

My first indication was a severely watering eye like I had gotten into some allergen followed by a drooping eye. After seeing an ophthalmologist I went to my PCP who sent me to the ER thinking I was having a stroke. After a couple of days of tests the MG diagnosis was confirmed.
