    I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. Today I’d like to talk about attitude, specifically about putting Gratitude in your Attitude. It’s not always easy to maintain an attitude of gratitude, but life is so much better when we do. When we recognize the significance of people around us and things that happen to us…

    I woke up at 2:00 AM this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep. The first thing that popped into my head was that it’s Good Friday. It’s a day when we remember how Jesus died on the cross to redeem us from our sins. I can’t even imagine the pain and suffering he went…

    I’ve mentioned double vision (diplopia) a couple of times in my blogs, but I’ve never really discussed its intricacies. I thought we’d spend a little time on double vision today. Diplopia, or double vision, is a common symptom of Myasthenia Gravis. In facts, it’s frequently one of the first symptoms experienced. MG can cause weakness…

    Today is Palm Sunday. Christians all over the world will be celebrating the anniversary of Jesus’s entry into Jerusalem. It was a joyous occasion back then with people lining the road, waving palm branches, and offering their hosannas to the Son of David. They celebrated and proclaimed how Jesus came in the name of the…

    I want to start with a joke this morning to help lead into the real topic of today’s blog. Here goes: An elderly man worth hundreds of millions of dollars began experiencing poor health. He asked his son to come visit him so they could talk about his inheritance. When he arrived, they sat down…

    Although some parts of the U.S. are still seeing snow, hot weather will be upon us before we know it. Time to start preparing for warmer weather is now. Today, I thought I’d talk about a few tips to assist in properly preparing. Heat affects nerve-muscle communication in MG, so even a small increase in…

    in

    That’s just around the corner, so now is the time to prepare. So, what is Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month? The entire month of June is dedicated to getting the word out about Myasthenia Gravis. It’s such a rare disease that it doesn’t get quite the attention (or the funding) as some of the other diseases,…

  • “That’s Done”

    in

    Have you ever gotten towards the evening and wondered what you’ve accomplished that day? I’ve found myself doing this. It’s uncomfortable. Sometimes it feels like we haven’t accomplished much at all and that leaves us feeling empty and unfulfilled. I think it might hold especially true for those of us with Myasthenia Gravis or other…

  • TRUST

    in

    It seems like a joke day, so here goes: Two brothers, both mobsters, had lived pretty seedy lives and both had spent time in prison. While they each had made a lot of money, they knew one day their reckless lives would catch up with them. Sure enough, one day the youngest brother got knocked…

  • Memory

    I heard a joke last night and thought I’d share it with you. An elderly couple were sitting in a pew at church waiting for the service to begin. A younger man sitting behind the elderly couple tapped the older gentleman on the shoulder. When the elderly man turned around, the younger gentleman said, “Hey,…
