Profile

I am a 70 yr old man diagnosed just after turning 70. I have worked in the social work field serving persons with HIV for over 30 years. I’m a gay man in a committed relationship of multiple decades and live in Ohio near the northern West Virginia border. MG has presented me with opportunities to grow and become a better person, at least that was my initial analysis. I have experienced some of that growth, but as of the latter six months of my first year, I have had severe health issues related to MG. I came to this site to learn, perhaps get some support and most  importantly figure out my path with MG. I feel like I have wandered down the wrong path as I’ve been hospitalized for nearly two months after cellulitis resulted in sepsis. All the result of high dose prednisone. I feel like I started a year ago with a belief that I can handle having MG. Now, I feel like I’m drowning.I hope that this site will give me some direction.
