It never dawned on me that incontinence could be an issue- but then it is muscle related. Bad days I need to "go" on a regular basis or as soon as my body says so ..go and not wait for the second suggestion.

Severe fatigue and breathing issues. But really I don't like MG at all. My Dr asked me how do I feel I said I'm pissed at this disease. It's taken me away from watching my grandson play baseball this summer due to the heat. I can't do all the things I loved to do. He said so your depressed? I said would you be depressed if you had this? I'm tired of taking tons of meds. I'm tired of being tired.
