These are some of my favorite online support for just about anything you need:
Have a basic question? These forums are helpful in answering even the most random ones:
MD Junction
The Daily Strength
Looking for real stories from real people like us?
The Mighty
Need fashion tips to deal with expanding sizing due to MG medications?
Fashionably Ill
Having trouble with your vision?
YouTube has a ton of information you can watch or listen to done by folks just like us. You simply type in Myasthenia Gravis.
Are you on Facebook?
If not, now is a perfect time to join. The private support groups on Facebook can answer a question, give you a virtual hug or a kick in the pants. Size doesn’t matter when it comes to groups. Sometimes the smaller and more intimate the better.
- MG Sisters
- The Wellness Warrior Tribe
- Myasthenia Gravis Won’t Stop Me
- Myasthenia Gravis Unmasked
- Ups, Downs & Roundabouts
- Spoonie for Life
- Women With Myasthenia
I’ll stop here because I don’t want to overwhelm you. Full disclosure, one of these groups filled with amazing, strong, determined people is mine. Can you guess which one? Actually many of us with MG are in most of these groups. Remember, a snowflake is just one tiny part of a beautiful snowstorm that can be used to create a perfect snowman family.
Alone we are strong, together we are powerful!
