Warm greetings fellow seniors! As a 72 year old diagnosed with myasthenia only 3 years ago and now learning to cope with generalized MG, I am blessed to learn with you all. I am witness and partaking of all you speak of—unannounced (and most unwelcome) fatigue, trials with different medications, sleepless nights, interrupted careers and retirement plans. BUT, I am also discovering strengths and resilience in areas I never knew I could develop, the joys of slowing down in life to enjoy moments again and grasp things I would really like to do and people and others I really want to invest in. You know, I am grateful that for the most part pain is not a daily part of life, and when something doesn’t work, there often are options for something else. Even uncertainties can bring an element of surprise and perhaps adventure, if one spins that perspective once and awhile. I take lots and lots of medicine, (cellcept now) after more than a year of prednisone and months of IVIG, but now, maybe for awhile, I can press on with new discoveries. Praying you all can, too.
Debbie
