ABOUT MGA
 |  |
MG is a severe auto-immune disease characterised by fluctuating and sometimes fatal muscle weakness. Symptoms can vary depending on the amount of activity undergone, the onset of infection or stress of any kind. Activities taken for granted by most of us become difficult or even impossible at times for Myasthenics- simple things like eating food, lifting arms, speaking to friends or laughing.
Commonly known as the Rag Doll Illness, people who suffer from Myasthenia can be perfectly normal one moment and a few hours, or even minutes later, droopy and listless.
It is a debilitating and life-changing illness but the MGA is working throughout the country, offering support to Myasthenics and their familes, increasing public and medical awareness and raising funds for research in order to find a better cure.
