SOMETIME WE MUST ENCOURAGE OURSELVES

Hello friends time to share. Well most recently i have begun to encourage myself. I know what you are saying. Weren't you encouraging your self before today? Well the answer to that is yes. If encouraging myself is getting up every morning. Clothing myself,cooking and taking every opportunity to simulate the life I had prior to MG. Now I have adopted the practice of verbally encouraging my self out loud. I call myself by name and encourage my self to get up and complete a project after resting. Or I  will tell my self I can do it. If maybe a little easier to do for me, since there is no one here to hear me talk to myself. It sounds a little off the wall I know. But It seems to keep me focused and directed. Because I love myself the encouraging push is soft and caring.....JUST A LITTLE SHARING.

In January of 2013 I will have blogged about Myasthenia Gravis for One year. And just to day some one reached out to me to ask a question about one of my articles. Wow, it meant  a lot to me too know people see my blog. I feel energized  in getting my message out. It appears that no matter what electronic gadgets we have social or otherwise. Nothing beats the human touch. That simple email I received has made a big difference in my blogging frequency. Because I have not been writing with the same drive as I previously have. With that said I can catch you up a little.  My fight now is with my therapy for my shoulder pain. Which I shared with you in October. It is another symptom I am wading through. But my Myasthenia remains stable.

Discovery of Physostigmine

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

An English physiologist by the name of Thomas Willis is credited with clinically describing myasthenia gravis in 1672. Doctors Samuel Goldflam, Wilhelm Erb, and Friedrich Jolly from Germany are responsible for fully describing myasthenia gravis in 1890. In 1934, Dr. Mary Walker of London conducted a successful trial of physostigmine in a patient with myasthenia gravis. Dr. Walker discovered that a subcutaneous injection of physostigmine temporarily restored muscle function in a patient with myasthenia gravis. At that time, physostigmine was used as an antidote for curare poisoning.
