Hello to everyone , I truly missed you .I am so grateful and blessed to still have life .and to live .To have a heartbeat , respiration without assistance , brainwave activity ,to swallow ,to walk ,to talk ,to have the awesome ability to express heartfelt emotions again .If anyone know what it is like to have a MYASTHENIA GRAVIS CRISIS ,I've felt powerless ,hopeless ,and felt this was my last day of life . Respiratory Failure , accompanied with Neuro Muscular Failure ,a few days on Life Support ,IVIG ,Rituxan ,Plasmapheresis Infusions ,I recovered .I've yet to live another day . Hoping all is well with you . even with your challenges , emotionally , physically , or spiritually , be encouraged , take care of YOU . Our diagnosis sometimes rob us from the freedoms that are freely available to us all . However due to unforeseen complications , we can't always obtain that same freedom . Again I'm grateful , I'm still here , to love , share , care , give and to live . Sending peace , hope , joy and happiness your way , today and everyday .
