    My first symptom as a kid was repeated falling and fatigue, so of course it was taken seriously. Later as a teen, it was vision, and as an adult, it was dropping things, then speaking, swallowing and breathing. I’ve been taken seriously all along until I got my last MG expert, who repeatedly tells me at my once a year only appointment that we’re lucky I’m not as bad as her other patients. As if choking on your own saliva and not being able to breathe at any moment of the day is not bad enough!
