Awareness, June 25th, Wednesday, 5-8 pm ET

Gary & Caryl will be on the conference line talking about Myasthenia
Gravis. We welcome anyone who would like to share their personal story,

ABOUT
TODAY'S TOPIC, MG Awareness:
What is Myasthenia Gravis
(MG)?
Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune
neuromuscular disease characterized by varying degrees of weakness of the
skeletal (voluntary) muscles of the body. The name myasthenia gravis, which is
Latin and Greek in origin, literally means "grave muscle weakness."
MG is caused by a defect in the transmission of nerve impulses to
muscles. It occurs when normal communication between the nerve and muscle is
interrupted at the neuromuscular junction.
What will we be discussing?
Today the focus will be on how it effects
individuals on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Attention
will be brought forward to educate, inform and share personal thoughts,
feelings and stories. Please share how it has affected you, or a love
one. Stay active by posting answers to the specific questions. If
you want to go deeper, and explore other possibilities, please feel free to
call the conference line # listed above.
Some Questions to Help You Get You
in the Flow *:
- How
do explain what MG is?
- How
can you succeed in coping with challenges?
- How
does emotional stress affect you?
- What
type of emotions do you deal with? e.g. anger, fear.

Actual questions will be numbered and posted live during the Tweet Chat.

Other Tips: I also invite you to look for my Storify that is always posted
after each party on my website.
- For
those of you who have never used or followed Storify, basically it is a
social network service that creates content taken from timelines using
such social media sites as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Be sure to be
a participant, RT those messages you resonate with – that offer value, and
add comments to initiate conversations. Also, this will give you an
opportunity to connect with new Tweople, create possible future
partnerships and expand your Twitterverse – develop other meaningful and
mutually beneficial relationships.
- To
help others out who may have just joined the party, please
RT the question along the way.
I am in gratitude and
appreciation, thank you all!
Keep the Party
Going, Happy Tweeting ~ Gary
