My Ode to August 2010
Dear month of August, you were not my friend,
As you dealt me MG symptoms from start to end.
It isn't your fault, you must manage the heat,
but I tell ya what, you kept me off my feet.
Double vision started early, just after the 3rd.
Then slow speech and troubled swallow followed the herd.
This time around, you played your Ace card
And dished out body weakness; that symptom was hard.
Each symptom alone is very much a strain,
But dishing all at once? Come on, you're such a pain!
Today is the first day, in 3 weeks and a half
My glasses aren't taped (yet), and I really can laugh.
Granted this month has been really rather rough
But its times like this, when I remember that I'm tough!
Myasthenia Gravis and August, for you my calendar is now shut,
And as a sincere parting gift, you can both kiss my butt!

Smile because you can!
Life is such an amazing adventure! One day you're cruising along with certain expectations, a planned route, and plenty of gas in the tank. The next, you're not sure where you are on the map and your compass fell beind that comfy seat you were in.
Smile because you can!
About Me
- Rachel
- Austin, TX
- My name is Rachel, and I have a neuromuscular disease called Myasthenia Gravis. This crazy condition was bestowed upon me in late 2008, and has the ability to render your body weak and sometimes useless unless proper treatments are administered. I've learned so much, and I feel blessed I am able to share. I'm nervous to write, but have learned that I should. Maybe you'll take something away from my nonsense.
