Jessica Sees Herself As Rocky

Jessica Gimeno has five diseases, one of those is myasthenia gravis.

In her Ted Talk she talks about dealing with those, along with having depression. Go watch! I love that she says “I see myself as Rocky, and my five diseases as Rocky’s different opponents.”

Jessica also has this cool website that might be helpful for those dealing with MG or other rare diseases. She calls it, “Fashionably ill, surviving pain with style and humor.”

Share this or other information about myasthenia gravis using #IhaveheardofMG so others can hear about it too!
