A Cold & MG

So I've been feeling not so great lately.  I've been getting a cold, and it doesn't help that my room at work is freezing.  I sat in my winter coat at lunch debating if I should go sit in my car blasting the warm heat.  That mixed with my MG has led to not much exercise lately.  I'll be honest, I probably could have exercised more, but I didn't really know what to do because of the MG.  My muscles were getting so tired so easily, and I didn't want to start falling more and have to ask the hubby for help bathing and dressing again.  That's just not (always) fun!  So with great timing, I had a neurologist appointment yesterday.  I think he really wants to put me back on steroids again.  He knows I REALLY don't want that, so he's not going to for right now.  The saving grace?  I can still breath.  Yes, my friends.  A lot of people with MG have problems breathing and chewing, etc., so I'm very lucky that most of my problems are my legs and arms.  If I have problems breathing, chewing or swallowing, I think he's probably going to throw those steroids down my throat.  He did mention that there are MG specialist doctors, and I could consider going to one.  I didn't even know this prior to yesterday, so I think I'm going to strongly consider this.  I really had hoped that the thymectomy had fixed a lot of the problems...at least for longer than a year.

Anyway, I have officially lost 50 pounds.  It is just so amazing!  The latest and greatest number is...

225

Less than 100 pounds to final goal weight!!!  

Much love!
