My first sign of MG came on very quickly in April 2022. As I was driving home alone from an overnight stay with my cousin, I felt as if my tongue was swelling. My first thought was an allergic reaction but I didn’t know to what. Within 45 minutes, I had a “lump-like feeling” in my throat and my speech was slurring. I had another hour to drive to get home. I drove immediately to MedExpress and by then I could no longer speak or swallow. They were sure it was a stroke and took me by ambulance to our local hospital. I was admitted and they did test after test and confirmed it was not a stroke. I was released the following day and told to see my PCP as soon as possible. I still had some difficulty swallowing, talking, eating.and I was very tired.  He sent me to the university hospital about 90 minutes away and I was there for five days. During that time, I was diagnosed with MG. Three days later, I had another crisis and returned to the university hospital for 5 more days. Since then, I am taking Mestinon. Prednisone, and have done IVIG treatments, but now receiving Vyvgart. I’ve learned to pace myself and try not to feel guilty about resting/napping during the day if I need it.
