Hi! I hope everyone is having a good day so far. I was recently diagnosed with myasthenia gravis in January, and I have many questions and no answers. My question is, has MG affected your career/schooling in any way? Did you have to retire or change jobs because of MG? Before getting sick, I was taking science classes at my local university to apply to med school, but everything is currently on hold until my symptoms are better controlled. Thanks!

Hi Taylor I was diagnosed when I was 15 but I had symptoms from 13 within those 2 years I got worse and worse I could barely leave the house and I missed alot of school but once I was diagnosed I started to feel a bit better and I could get to school it was hard and took a lot of work but I finished school and college and I graduated from university, so it is possible and you can get hel from the colleges and universities. If you want to chat more I'm happy to share my experiences.

Was diagnosed in 2020. I had to drop out of college and am unable to get a 9-5 job due to my health. The campus deemed me to high of a risk to continue. But I do a lot of other side things to make money and am doing a lot better these days than before! I plan on going back to college in winter hopefully.

Hi Taylor, I was diagnosed with MG in 2017. I applied for graduate school in 2018 and just finished my doctorate degree in occupational therapy. While it was extremely difficult and required a LOT of planning, it was and is possible to attend school with MG. I received accommodations from the school for extended test time, larger font, pre-recorded lectures and more that I’m happy to share if you’re interested.
