Myasthenia Gravis and Graves Disease (autoimmune disease) changed my life. They affect the immune system, thymus gland and thyroid. Is there a cure or only remission? How can I recover from MG and Graves Disease (hyperthyroidism)? Are these really chronic illnesses?
I was diagnosed in 2015, I quickly looked for treatments that would help me. My muscles became very weak, I had a thymoma (enlarged thymus gland). I decided not to a have a surgical thymectomy (operation). Myasthenia involves a disorder of the thymus gland, but I believe the thymus is still needed. I had a rapid period of deterioration over that year and a almost miraculous bounce back the following year after implementing a lot of changes in my life. I have been successful in certain areas, but not in others yet. I am hoping that this channel can inspire other 'chronically' ill people and be able to present some of the information and changes that I think have helped me. Information about health, how to recover and how I got into remission and how I want to go way past that.
This is my first YouTube video. This is an introduction into the thoughts behind why I want to start a channel and why YouTube. As well as a brief insight into why I am so determined to recover over the long term.
The plan is to show long term improvement. So that's why I want to start now (actually wanted to start before) so that there will be videos to look back on and show the improvements and the journey as a whole.
