- Don’t rush. If you’re going to be late, what the heck? Be late.
- Learn to ask for help when you need it. Be direct and specific. ("I need a ride on Tuesday at 10 a.m." "Please don’t hold my arm; I’d rather hold onto you.")
- Get plenty of rest. You may need more sleep compared to pre-MG times.
- Build naps into your day without guilt.
- Rest your eyes regularly while reading or working on the computer.
- Learn what triggers your myasthenia. Can you avoid it? Can you rest before or after?
- Learn strategies to handle stress—for instance, special breathing or imaging techniques.
- Don’t give up the things you love—yet. If myasthenia gravis is forcing you to stop gardening, golfing, biking, or whatever—it may be temporary. For example, can you focus on several planters instead of a larger garden?
- And hey, tomorrow is another day.
