Short Bio

Newly diagnosed MG sufferer, complicated by being  a type 1 diabetic for more than 30 years (that is 2 autoimmune conditions). Unsure whether MG is a consequence of comorbidities associated with my diabetes. I suffer from tiredness and fatigue, muscle waste in my upper and lower limbs. My eyes droop (but have recovered to some extent because of the use of Mestinon.  Spent a week in hospital recently to begin a course of steroids (Prednisolone currently taking 60mg daily) this treatment on a reduction scale after 1 month will continue until late November 2021. After that who knows. At the moment have no difficulty in swallowing or breathing.
