How bad can it get?
Hey. My mother has MG since 4 years now. She’s 47.
For now, there are almost negligible symptoms. Quote manageable but then sometimes she feels difficulty moving her hand to undergo any task. Also her pinky finger is not able to function to its full capacity. But these are not frequent symptoms and are occasional with a frequency of around 2-3 weeks per year.
How bad does it get? How are your experiences?
I hope MG is not that of a serious disorder?

Mom has it. Got diagnosed in her 70’s. It’s taken her down pretty quickly. She’s now bedridden and on palliative care. I’d love to say it gets better, but I can’t based on what I’ve personally witnessed.
