Myasthenia Gravis and Graves Disease Talk. This is a MG speech I did in 2016 explaining the disease and my symptoms include ocular (diplopia, ptosis) and general (difficulty talking, chewing and general muscle fatigue.)
Myasthenia is a neuromuscular, chronic, autoimmune disease. The disorder affects the acetylcholine nerve receptor sites, which get blocked by antibodies formed against the thymus gland.
The point of posting this now is to show my thoughts as well as symptoms at that stage. I had been eating 'healthy' for 9 months already, but was still pretty ill. I had learned a lot, but still needed to learn so much more. I hope this can give some more insight into my journey and the timeline of my recovery.
The worst of my symptoms occurred in 2015 and 2016. Since then I have made many changes and slowly improved. Now in 2019, I am doing well, but I want to keep getting healthier to show others that it's possible and to be able to assist others where I can.
