MemberBetween medication side-effects and being less active because of muscle weakness and fatigue, my weight definitely went up and up. Now, I’m working with my cardiologist to loose weight before I end up un his surgery!
I’m not certain if/how weight gain/loss affects MG, but I doubt being overweight would help. In my opinion, this definitely adds to our overall stress – both mentally and physically. And that can definitely impact our overall health and MG. Plus, all medication is (or should be) adjusted for our physical weight to be optimally effective.
