I was 68. I initially experienced slurred speech and chewing fatigue. I was diagnosed within a month but lived through 2 crisis before things stabilized with low dose Prednisone and weekly IVIG that I do myself (Cuvitru). Since i went on that regime I have been stable for 6 years. I have been able to play tennis and golf with a few hours of rest in between.

MG has its ups and downs. There are times i have to back out of activities or social engagements for a few days but i seem to rebound. symptoms are controlled most of the time. thank goodness. Crisis have to be avoided at all costs.
