Prednisone for Myasthenia Gravis

Prednisone for Myasthenia Gravis

Prednisone is prescribed for more diseases and conditions than any other drug.

Crazy, huh?

One of those conditions is called Myasthenia Gravis, which I’ll call MG.

One Warrior described MG like this: “I couldn’t swallow… it was terrifying. It took me 3.5 hours to crush up and swallow a pill. I am pretty active, golfing 3 days a week, Tae Kwon Do… 80s.”

It’s a long-term condition, so people with MG may have to take prednisone for a long time.

That means Myasthenia Gravis Warriors are some of the most experienced Prednisone Warriors.

So what I share about MG in my new video applies to other conditions, as well.

It’s not just about “is the drug working or not?”
It’s about the whole person with the disease.

Find out how to optimize your quality of life while on prednisone.
