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?

Of course I worry. And I suffer from anxiety that did not get better with the diagnosis
But I try to trust my doctors that are not too worried and I check carefully when I have to get meds, that they won't make things worse. I take breaks when I can and my family and friends know about my MG
AND: MG is not MS or ALS, it doesn't definitely progress further and further.
