Hey Ross, I have had MG for over 20 years. I am now 45 and have become stronger than I was before my diagnoses. I lift weights and am stronger and more fit than 20 year olds. I do everything natural NO STEROIDS! I have a black belt in taekwondo and have done everything I have wanted. I was very weak when i first got MG but now I am doing so great. I want to write a book on healthy eating with MG or at least give a talk on it. I am a culinary grad from the CIA and would like to create a cookbook. I came across your channel. I wish you the very best! Above all faith is the most important thing in becoming stronger. Without Jesus I would not be where i am today. God bless.
hey Aaron That's an awesome story. There's so much to like in your comment. Faith is the foundation of recovering for me. Where are you from? Maybe we can do a stream and you can tell your story. I am still getting into CZcams, but interviewing and sharing other people MGs stories is something I would like to do, if you would want to?
@@mgathlete1431 Great to hear from you. I would like to talk to you more. I have only met two other people in my life with this disorder. It would be great to talk to you in the future about it. We can all learn from each other. Feel free to write to me anytime. My email is Aaronshaunbrennan@gmail.com I live in New Jersey at the moment. Sincerely, Aaron Brennan
@@AaronShaunBrennan Definitely! I am glad you also did it naturally. There are a lot of people struggling more than they need to. Keen to chat to you about your story. I will email you when I have a plan on how we can do a stream.

@@julieanncastuya1132 Hi Raul. I'm going to do a detailed video in the next few weeks explaining what I did. But I changed my diet a lot, nothing processed, took certain supplements, and then changed jobs and where I lived to try removed as much stress as possible. slow process, but it worked.
Thank you so much for creating this channel, Ross. I suddenly became very ill with MG at 27 years old with 2 young children. It was detrimental. I have the same convictions of you and have worked very hard to recover as naturally as possible. I rely heavily on mestinon fir function. I'm 3 years into MG and I'm slowly getting to where i want to be. Heavy metals and nutrition was huge piece for me. I'm also so thankful for the comment section in this video.. these testimonials are so much encouragement for me as someone who is praying and working towards recovery for sustainable health.
Hello I am Hope from Nigeria, I am a female 35 years. I have been diagnosed with Mayesthenia and Graves disease and also diabetesfor a little over a year now. Got diagnosed at the very worst stage as well, was disabled for some time but by the help of God I am back on my feet . Still trusting God for a full recovery. Keep doing what you are doing. The community needs it. Looking for ways to create awareness of the disease in this part of the world. Thank u and God bless you.
I am also MG patient from India...i was diagnosed at age of 17 gone through thymectomy it was my worst experience, i was mentally depressed. Now i am 23 and doing well.....but sometimes i have to go through panic attacks mental stress....some people make fun of me because of my facial expression(face paralysis) and i have to tolerate all this....but i am doing my best....and i support all MG patient
Hi, I have myasthenia gravis. I am 23, from NY, USA. I was just diagnosed with it at the end of August 2020. Luckily, I caught it early in time, so remission / prognosis is looking up (hopefully) . I have just started watching your videos, and I can't wait to hear about your recovery process. I am also planning on starting my own videos about MG thanks for inspiring me! I would like to hear more about your non-pharmalogical / surgical treatments that you have done, even with what foods you eat/avoid would be really helpful for me right now :)
Hey Taryn I'm glad that you got a diagnosis early, and I hope you are doing better. If you start doing videos, we can do an interview session or something and chat about your experience and other MG things if you want? let me know
@@mgathlete1431 I would love to! My symptoms have improved greatly and I followed a lot of your advice on eating, limiting inflammatory substances, etc. I would love to share my story!
Hello Ross. Thank you for being so candid. My 21 year old son was diagnosed last month (February 2020) and looking around CZcams, I found your posts. We lived in Florida, USA. Thank you again.
Hey Gabriela, sorry to hear about your son! One of the reasons I want to share is to encourage young people especially that there might be a way to overcome this illness. Sure it's not easy, but one doesn't have to follow the path that isn't working in my eyes. They can make their own path. I hope your son is doing okay!
MGAthlete Thank you Ross. He was started on prednisone 3 weeks ago and today he was finally able to open his eyes and keep them opened. His blurred vision is getting better as well. It has been hard since I am an RN and want to make sure the treatment given will not hurt my son in the long run. We are going to Bascom Palmer and are being seen by a neurologist-ophthalmologist. Please keep on posting. You are in my prayers.
Glad there is another you tuber spreading MG awareness. I too am trying to do the same with my channel. I was diagnosed in 2006, remission & medication free since 2017. Wishing you the very best on your journey 🙏🏻

Great job Ross!! It takes alot of courage and bravery to share such a journey. Thank you for doing so and I trust and pray it will bless others in whatever journey they may be facing and take inspiration, like I have, to step out and be bold, brave and courageous in sharing challenges in my life that I have overcome or even going through, even though it is not Myasthenia Gravis or a health issue. God bless you! Keep sharing!
Hi Ross. I have myasthenia gravis and graves disease and it's good to know that a support group is out there and you are sharing story. God bless 🙏 #Guyana

Hi i am 24 now . I have been suffering through MG for 2 years now. I had open heart surgery. But still not recovering totally. Please can anyone help me who has totally come out of this?🙏
I've been diagnosed at 15 with Myasthenia (still am) and pretty sure I've had a lot of symptoms before diagnosis. I'm just really confused same with my family and we notice symtoms getting worse
Hey Ross Brother.. you are a super hero.. I am suffering with left eye ptotis at age of 8.. now I am 32 years old and When I went to Delhi AIIMs for treatment of ptotis, I came to know that minor double vision is being formed in that eye of mine. my musk is negative AChR antibody negative, cpk negative, chest ct thymous negative , EMG negative, RNSt negative, neostigmine test negative, but doctor me gravitar 60 mg three times , prednisolone dispersibe teb 20 mg once daily, azathiaoprine teb 50 mg once daily and shelcal HD ( calcium and vitamin d3) once daily I am taking medicine since three months but my problem is same. Please give some advice.
I now can't walk fast or move quickly because it getting to my breath. I couldnt take breath like i lost my breath.... does nutrition will help it...? Im so scared when it progress to difficulty breathing...
If you seem my video about top resources where I mention the online copy of an MG book, that is sort of the basis for my eating. Low polyunsaturated fat, lower phosphorus relative to calcium, more glycine/gelatin rich proteins over methionine proteins, and then getting manganese rich foods in too. I had a big focus on stress reduction in terms or diet (easier to digest foods), lifestyle (stopped studying and work for a bit), sleep/exercise/circadian rhythm (used to be awake at night a lot), and then relationships too
I never went on the steroids. It was difficult in the beginning, and I couldn't really do much, but I wanted to try without them as long as I could and fortunately I started to improve and then didnt need them
I used to take steroids in myasthenia gravis but I slowly stopped and skipped at times and now I can go without steroids for 3 months or probably more.
I am from Bangladesh saying brother help me I have been suffering from this disease for 1 year but did not do well. I am 18 years old Thymes Normal Anti Body Negative Please tell what to do as a groom's brother
I m ocular MG patient.. Can MG recover with medication treatment?? Because my doctor suggest me some medicine and I have been taking medicine for 6 months and I feel little bit improvement.. can it properly recover with medication treatment?? Plz reply plz plz
I think a few people have improved with medication. I took medication for a while and am now fine without medication. So I definitely think its possible to recover, or at the least improve
Also remember that medication helps by supressing your symptoms. Its also beneficial to focus on nutrition & how your fueling your body & the tools your using to minimise stress. I was diagnosed with MG in 2006, remission & medication free since 2017. All the best.
It's not diet only. It's figuring out what is stressing me out and trying to remove it. Diet is a big part, because if it's the 'wrong' foods, then that stress is adding a few times every day. But besides diet, work, sleep, sunlight, walking, mentally, spiritually are all important parts to get on top of to improve/recover
@@mgathlete1431 yes agree. She is on a strict plant based vegan diet The thing is she's isnt getting better like you Said ur Jaws were so weak ..to chew so is hers ..did that go away only with diet? You were on medication right? Did u go a IVIG..o am just eager to know did ur jaw muscles actually strengthen with only right foods and sunlight...isn't it the flushing of Antibodies that is most important.. Please explain sadly the neurologist here are so clueless ...about this rare condition
@@mgathlete1431 please reply .I am shattered to see my young 40 yrs old mom suffer...sad she's been an athlete and MG was actually induced thru a wrong medication...it turned out to be a side effect of an overdose of an strong Anti anxiety pill which was given by a nutty Indian doctor...
I would try relax. It takes a long time to recover and to reverse. So everyone needs to be patient, learn as much as they can, make a plan and then try to execute that plan. A book called "the thymus, myasthenia gravis and manganese" is available online. That is the most useful information I can recommend. It doesn't improve overnight even with a perfect diet and lifestyle. I only took mestinon, but I focused on rest, recovery and making all my meals myself. I stopped university and work to recover.
@@mgathlete1431 wow so it's only Mestinon. And the change in life style. Ross why dont you pen down just like a short diet plan or is it's on some link of urs. Or is there like a strict diet book plan I can follow...the book you recommended does it have some diet tips..I have bought tons of MG books ...but they only only explain how one gets MG See your my inspiration. I am only 15 very traumatized to see my moms neck droop and jaws chest stomach muscles so immensely weak .please please just a few food tips you are like my savior now please guide me just for a few tips . And I know u even mentioned about something so basic like the use of toothpaste..please help me ross..I can't see my mom slip ..

The thing is she's isnt getting better like you Said ur Jaws were so weak ..to chew so is hers ..did that go away only with diet? You were on medication right?
Did u go a IVIG..o am just eager to know did ur jaw muscles actually strengthen with only right foods and sunlight...isn't it the flushing of Antibodies that is most important..

@@mgathlete1431 please reply .I am shattered to see my young 40 yrs old mom suffer...sad she's been an athlete and MG was actually induced thru a wrong medication...it turned out to be a side effect of an overdose of an strong Anti anxiety pill which was given by a nutty Indian doctor...
I would try relax. It takes a long time to recover and to reverse. So everyone needs to be patient, learn as much as they can, make a plan and then try to execute that plan. A book called "the thymus, myasthenia gravis and manganese" is available online. That is the most useful information I can recommend.
It doesn't improve overnight even with a perfect diet and lifestyle.
I only took mestinon, but I focused on rest, recovery and making all my meals myself. I stopped university and work to recover.
@@mgathlete1431 wow so it's only Mestinon.
And the change in life style.
Ross why dont you pen down just like a short diet plan or is it's on some link of urs.
