Hi I was diagnosed with MG over a year ago.i am 20 years old. Since then i have had good days and bad days. I was just wondering could anyone tell me what treatment they are on. Ive been taken mestinon but their is no specialist in my area and have been offered no other treatment, I feel like i am getting worse. i was admitted into hospital last week with severe chest pains and unable to breathe and i had really bad tremors. The doctors never heard of MG so they put me on an inhaler and sent me home. I have no improvment yet and have not been able to return to work. I have no help or support and have been in an apartment 12 hours a day by myself in a city where i know nobody and i can barely walk to toilet. I just need to know is there any other treatment or doctors that anyone could tell me about. Please IM really desperate
Welcome to the forum, I am so sorry to hear that you are having such a bad time. Please try not to panic too much, I know this is easier said than done. Have you got all the literature and information that you can get from the MGA at Derby, this may help to reassure you. You are not alone.
There are many different medications that people take, if you click on to my profile you will see mine listed there, you just need to click on to the name on the posting. You do not say where you are or if you have been referred to a neurologist. Please take care............... ---------- South Wales UK
Thanks for your message, I live in Ireland. I havent been referred to a neurologist i just get perscription for mestinon from my GP who until me has never treated a patient with MG. The only information i have recieved on MG was from the internet even though my doctor advised me not to look on the internet. I had no other choice the doctors just diagnosed me with MG and gave me a perscription and that was the last ive heard from them.It is very frustrating that there is no medical support, but i have been in denial for a long time and am now just coming to terms with this diagnosis so i thimk my only option is to do my own research.i was getting bett
Hi claire, i am twenty years old. i was diagnosed with Mg last year but started feeling symptoms when i was 16 years old. I have found it difficult to deal with being so young, no friends understand what it is and i cant have a normal life like them. Every summer i have to watch my friends leave to go travelling and know ill never get that chance, It is very lonely and i would be interested to talk to other young people who suffer with the same condition
