Do you even wonder how it feels to go a day in the world feeling as if you were a noodles, with no strength to do anything? However, some people may say to just exercise and gain strength. Some of us may not have that option. People call us lazy, liars, or over reacting. Though, our true name is Myasthenia Gravis warrior or fallen snow flake.
Myasthenia Gravis, MG for short, is a “chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that is characterized by fluctuating weakness of the voluntary muscle groups” (Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America, 2017). This means that the muscles in my body may feel very weak at times. It affects my breathing, walking, talking, eating, running, moving, vision, hearing, almost every part of my body.

I just wanted to have a normal life as a teenager, but this weakness was holding me back. That September I met my boyfriend, who would end up helping me in many ways. I never thought I could count on someone
