Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder causing extreme muscle weakness and can impact a person’s ability to see, smile, walk, talk and breathe. Our Connecticut MG Support Group sat down to talk about their experience with MG and the MG community.

If you believe that you have myasthenia gravis, please seek a doctor immediately. The MGFA provides a list of physician’s that have been vetted by our Medical / Scientific Advisory Board, here: http://myasthenia.org/LivingwithMG/PhysicianReferralList.aspx

If you have recently been diagnosed, you can see if there is a Support Group in your area here http://myasthenia.org/CommunitySupport/SupportGroupCalendar.aspx, or an MG Walk near you here: www.MGwalk.org.

“But you look so healthy.” “You can’t be that sick.” “Do you even really have that condition?”
Those are some of the many comments I have been hearing for the past 6 years of my life. My name is Lex Goodwin and in 2015 at the age of 19 years old, I was diagnosed with a rare auto-immune disease called Myasthenia Gravis also known as MG. MG is a chronic neuro-muscular disease that causes severe muscle weakness. I created this video to raise awareness, share my story, and help, encourage, and be a voice for those with MG and other chronic illnesses. I also wanted to help those without MG or a chronic illness better understand what it is like living with an illness you can’t “see”. Please subscribe to my channel and like and share this video!
