One day in the life of Pallavi Rao/ Myasthenia Gravis | PALLAVI RAO | TEDxKNC

[@zachimm4750]

I know how hard it is to have myasthenia gravis. I also have it for 2 years. Its hard when myasthenia is being flared up by pneumonia. you feel hard to breathe, the eyes droopes more and the muscles gets numb more and more. Stress is uncontrollable too. You get stressed with every pain you feel inside. I was depressed for having so many rare disease and now i have this autoimmune disease. It takes a lot of patience to all those relatives and love ones who are living with myasthenia gravis patients. I hope i can spread awareness about mg and encourage many patients like me to continue living and doing everything they love slowly. I also hope there will be cure with this disease. Im still under observation by my doctors because of some complications with my myasthenia.

Thank you for sharing! I was diagnosed 3 years ago with MG. I have good days and bad. I am still having a difficult time accepting this disease but the more I hear stories like this...the easier it is to accept. Thank you thank you for being brave and lovely.

[@namratamatsya6753]

i also have mg and can relate to you just keep on going it cant take you down all the best

[@laracroft6055]

Thank you for speaking up about such serious issue. Respect you and your strength. Thank you,again!

[@azdbuk]

Thanks for the talk. Learning along with a parent who is going through this, big time. Anxious personalities have to learn to manage and calm themselves. ER dr's have to learn it is not only O2 sat levels that give info, but aterial blood gas tests as well, pulmo techs have to learn that 98 percent O2 does not mean mg patients are not having air starvation, physical therapists have to learn the balance of exertion vs. strength training that she alluded to.....it goes on and on.....patients have to lean to manage meds, be your own advocate or family member and find out the latest treatments, they are changing and becoming quite good....not a dr. and I barely know anything, but in this day and age, seems like there should be way more awareness of MG.....

[@madeleinemaier5446]

I'm now 33 years old and was diagnosed 10 years ago after 2.5 years of being misdiagnosed and spending lots of hours at a psychologist. Getting antidepressants. Guess what? Didn't heal my weaknesses in my legs an arms. At the age of 23 I was not able to get ready for work or after getting ready for I was already exhausted. Today I'm on low medication, but still need to be careful with me and my health. Best if luck for all, who where diagnosed with MG, too ❤️

Iam just 18 and i got mg in 17 😅 it's really hard for me to believe but now i had to change my whole life i was a Karate player in national level my career is nothing now . I wish i could have my old life back

[@gomarketingsuccessdotcom7865]

I lost everything to MG 20 years ago. Gave up my education, my dream career, and my life. I'm still in denial, it's hard to accept it because I want to do so much. I've been on 4 studies and my newest one is for the leukapheresis. I'm trying to overcome MG and try to live the life that I want.

[@gaurig7215]

Don't worry you will be have much better days.. just go with flow ...accept the MG

[@user-mq5rh6ew7p]

Thank you for sharing. My father was diagnosed and it is so hard for me to watch him struggle to be the man he always was. Seeing how much it affects him is heartbreaking, because I know what he was capable of. It is not that he isn't capable now, he just doesn't have the strength/energy to do these things. I hope to God for a cure.

[@letoshareynolds6172]

I have it as well u sound like me bless ur heart I be so sad

it is so unbearable and understanding disease as I am suffering from ocular mysthenia gravis

[@sarangp6396]

I can understand. Howe did you find? What medicines do you take note

[@Asterix07]

My wife too is suspected to have ocular mg. Although the achr test came negative 2 days ago. But the doc said after all tests and scans and everything looks perfectly fine but intermittent double vision every few seconds since last 2 years could only mean mg. Just showing seronegative. Started her off with distinon 60mg + 0.5 mg steroids since yesterday. How do you deal with ocular mg personally. Also how old are you and how long have you had it ? My wife is 36

[@osaniss]

Ask a doctor

[@wendymitchell8245]

My friend went to the gym and was very fit but started with ocular Myasthenia gravis , which after about three years is now causing problems with swallowing ,and walking when tired . He was told any exercise would make him weaker, which has been happening when he walked too far ,he would sit and sleep anywhere. Now in the evenings he needs a walker to get around the house.Any movement makes you weaker but sleep helps .

I was diagnosed 48 years old with mg I wish doctors would tell people the truth about it not one doctor told me I could have a crisis I was hospitalized seven times with crisis is 4 times with a feeding tube one-time intubated 8 weeks ago it took out my thymus gland I feel a hundred percent better it was hard from being normal and then not being normal

[@fizzyworld6933]

is after surgery MG patient lives better life?

[@MalittaJames]

I still have chronic pain at night

[@dominicfernandes4019]

There might not be a cure in allopathy. You can minimize symptoms to a level that you feel normal. 1) Heal your gut 2) Restore your sleep pattern 3) Vitamin D, 4) Vitamin B 5) Daily laughter and exercise like Taichi / qi gong . 6) Regular fasting - 3 days , 7 days , 20 days water diet . Basically you need to Detox your mind , Body and spirit . and LEARN to relax . Avoid toxic thoughts , toxic environments and toxic people. Ms Rao has spoken about living with MG and accepting MG , very good .And the world desperately needs to know how to over come MG /defeat MG . You will find these methods in the book "My Myasthania Gravis" by Stephen Lau

[@sanjanaarora1920]

I am a MG patient myself so this is like the first hand experience. All I would say is, DO. NOT FAST. DO NOT DEPRIVE YOUR BODY OF THE ENERGY IT DESPERATELY NEEDS. Second, AVOID HEAT. IT DEFINITELY FLARES UP THE ANTIBODIES. You can take vitamin D supplements but it would be better if you avoided heat and direct sunlight. I do not know much about other points stated here so I will not comment on it.

[@TheDuffy29]

I read this book, and it is very good! Yes, it takes time and commitment to implement the things in the book! Body, soul and spirit!! It's definitely worth the read, thank you!!

Me also

[@mao4u]

I wonder if there's link for mg community? Care to share? Because mg literally makes me deppresed. Of course my family and friends are supportive but having engaged with someone in your shoes really makes a different. My symptom difficulty swallowing, nasal speech (in fact i cant even make a proper sound sometime), dropped eyelid, fatigue. Well mostly on face area. What about others?

[@mao4u]

@Heaven is My Home for my disease, yes. Prednisolone and others. But for my mental health, not exactly.

[@mao4u]

@Heaven is My Home i havent. I'm gonna see the doctor this june to talk about it but since corona issue, i'm afraid the surgery may have to wait for a while. I do have the thymus gland (idk if that is the correct name 😅). I am planning to remove it but whenever i think about having surgery, my anxiety increased. You see, my health went downhill everytime i'm anxious. Btw right now, i'm 22 years old. Have you had this surgery before? I heard that not all surgery can improve your disease. Some may even became worse. Hahahaha. I'm not that optimistic thinker as you can see. Anxiety always my buddy, almost like shadow following around. It just...scares me a lot. And i have never been under knife before. This would be my first

[@mao4u]

@Heaven is My Home how long for your recovery?

[@mao4u]

After the surgery, dies it feel hurt? I mean physically. Does it hurt really bad?

[@mao4u]

@Heaven is My Home that is....scary. but eventually its gonna be better right? I mean..you do get better after it right?
