My local Myasthenia Gravis organization immediately put me in contact with one of its "listening ear" volunteers. It turned out the volunteer also had MG, was close to me in age, and lived only 5 minutes away! This wonderful woman had an arsenal of practical tips to help me cointinue to live my life and do the things that were important to me, even though a rocky first couple of years with the disease. The MGFA-Great Lakes Chapter performs extraordinary outreach! Truly above and beyond for people with MG and their families!!
