Dear Johanna, The heat will bring diaphragm weakness on for me. I can breathe, but it is difficult to get a good full breath in and then I become overall body weak, I am guessing because of lack of oxygen. I used to love Summer, but since MG, the heat can get me. Are you feeling some of the above symptoms from the MG team article ? I hope you are doing ok.

No I'm not but I do think I had a crazy flare up last week. I had been sitting down in a cool room. And suddenly I couldn't take a clear breath. It was painful.
I feel much better this week. My breathing is a little shallow still. One day at a time.
Hi. I was recently diagnosed with mg last winter. The heat makes it feel like I'm breathing through a warm wet blanket. I used to have so much fun during the warm months. But now I simply cannot take the heat.
