This May Seem Silly, But Since I Was Diagnosed With MG In 2023, I Have Lost My Desire To Read.

I’ve not lost my desire, but because it is harder to read than before, I don’t. That was my go to “rest”, and now it seems it’s too hard to do, to hsrd to concentrate. I even now have Audible, and though I’d rather read, this has been a good alternative.

Joellen I am sorry to hear this. I am don’t drink alcohol so that wasn’t an issue for me. I hope you are finding some relief 🙏

I’ve always loved to read and can’t sleep without reading before bed. I am finding it difficult to read now. I read much less. Thankful I still can. 🥰

Pat, sounds like you and I are on the same page. My symptoms started with just ocular last September . About a month ago I got a pneumonia shot and I now have a droopy eye and extreme weakness and fatigue. Just today I decided to listen to an audio book because I can’t read. I also have cut out all alcohol because it affected my vision and breathing. This has really suddenly changed my life.

I went into general within 6 months, but we're all unique. During that time, I discovered that drinking anything alcoholic affects my breathing negatively. So I had to cancel that.
