Tomorrow is the day my husband goes to the neurologist
it is the day I have been waiting for since June 21
Will she give him medication to combat this disease of Myasthenia Gravis
Will There Be Rainbows Or Clouds

there hasn't been any treatment since he left the hospital
two neurologists left and they discharged my husband without any insight
how he could improve
Will There Be Rainbows or Clouds

he became weaker and weaker as the disease progressed
he even fell a couple of times
he gets confused, as is the prognosis of this disease without treatment
Will There Be Rainbows or Clouds

I am nervous about tomorrow, I will beg for some medication for him
he is not the same man who walked out my door to go to the ER
I want him back, he never was like that before
Will There Be Rainbows or Clouds

what is missing is the essence of my husband
what is missing is what the disease stole from him
what the disease stole from me
Will There Be Rainbows or Clouds

Let There Be Treatment - Let There Be Light

Let There Be Sunshine and Rainbows Behind Those Clouds

Myasthenia Gravies a chronic autoimmune disease that causes fluctuating weakness and rapid fatigue in voluntary muscles.

No cure exists, but therapies can effectively manage and reduce symptoms.
