As you navigate life with gMG, you may find it challenging to keep up with friends or engage in social events.
Frequent hospital visits and medical appointments can disrupt social plans and commitments, leading to last-minute cancellations or missed gatherings with friends.

Educating your friends about your condition, explaining your limitations or needs and seeking their understanding can help bridge the gap between managing gMG and maintaining fulfilling social interactions.
Having an open and honest conversation with friends is key to helping you find that balance. Sharing resources, such as the Simple Factsheet may help friends better understand your gMG.
