People living with generalized Myasthenia Gravis (MG), a rare autoimmune disease, are often misunderstood. While they suffer from multiple debilitating symptoms, they don’t always physically show it. This often invisible illness leaves family and friends confused and unable to understand the ramifications of the rare disease impacting the neuromuscular system. Jessica, living with MG, experienced these challenges first hand. 

“It’s difficult to explain to people what is wrong with you and what your limitations are with MG when you look okay. People can’t always grasp the fact that you are living with a chronic illness that can be quite limiting and disabling for you.”

For Jessica, this was an opportunity to expand her support system, rather than limiting it. 

Hear her story of how she found friends and companionship in the MG community.
