Coping with Myasthenia Gravis is a self-improvement book inspired by the need to provide different perspectives to myasthenia gravis patients on how to deal with the challenges brought by the said disease. This important guide book introduces readers to the disease’s history, mechanism, and clinical features. It also shares some coping mechanisms that were discovered by patients. These information is not present in the medical textbooks and only patients can speak about their experiences.
Though I have congenital vs autoimmune myasthenia, the case studies shared in this book still felt very relatable. I’m not sure I truly found anything to help me cope, but what I did find was feeling seen. This condition has caused me to question my sanity more times than I care to admit, so it was good to read other people sharing similar experiences and thoughts.
