About Me
I was a teacher for 28 years and now work at a library, which I really love. I am a very active person and enjoy many activities. But, this has been hampered terribly by my recent diagnosis of MG and fibromyalgia.Everyday seems to present a new challenge and I cherish those few minutes that I feel normal, because they are so few.
Interests
Reading, especially medical things. Playing the piano. Used to love to dance, but can't anymore because of MG, Fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis.

Close Myasthenia Gravis
I was diagnosed with MG in April 2007. I am dealing with getting used to the Mestinon and the feelings that I have in my body that change everyday.
Treatments
- Mestinon Somewhat Helpful
- I feel the Mestinon kick in and give me more strength. Sometimes it clears my blurry eyes and then other times it does just enough to get me through to the next dose.
Close Fibromyalgia
I have been diagnosed with mild Fibromyalgia. I have so many of the symptoms...about 98% of them. I have TMJ, that off balance feeling, pain in the tender points, neck pain, chemical sensitivity, and it is very much weather related. I feel so much worse on damp and humid days and I live in Fl. I have extreme weakness with exertion and muscle aches upon exercising. I, also, have Osteoarthritis worse than I have ever had it. Also, IBS and bladder sensitivity.
Treatments
- TENS Somewhat Helpful
- I get it for TMJ at Physical Therapy and have a home unit ordered.
- Acupressure Working / Worked
- It is nice to know that there is something I can do at the time of pain or anxiety to help myself.
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- It has definitely helped me and I continue it. I go once a week.
- Heat Working / Worked
- It's my best friend!
- Lyrica Not Working
- Couldn't take this drug. It made my legs ache and ache, couldn't even sleep.
- TENS Somewhat Helpful
- I get it for TMJ at Physical Therapy and have a home unit ordered.
- Vitamin B12 Working / Worked
- My level was dangerously low and I take sublingual tablets, two each day, It was 1134 the last time I had it tested up from 155.
