Out of Loneliness: Finding Connection with MG | Untold Stories
Listen now
Description
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes weakness in skeletal muscles. It occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy muscle cells, preventing them from receiving messages from nerve cells.    This damages the communication system between nerves and muscles, making them weak and easily tired.    This “Untold Stories” podcast episode sponsored by argenx in partnership with iHeartMedia is about a special patient, Morgan.    Morgan found herself grappling with many feelings of loneliness and self-doubt on top of the overwhelming physical symptoms of her MG.    Diagnosed in her mid-twenties, it felt like everything Morgan had built in her life might be taken away by the changes that came with her condition. Just when it seemed all hope was lost, Morgan found the strength to reconnect with herself and others.    By tapping into her creativity and love for storytelling, she created an outlet that changed her life and the lives of many others facing MG.    Morgan shares her story and how the experience lifted her up at a time when she felt truly alone.
