Welcome to the Sacramento Sierra Myasthenia Gravis Support Group!
You can reach out to me any time at: mgsacsierra@gmail.com
Welcome to our homepage on the California MG website. Our goal is to provide an inclusive space to share experiences, information and resources to help you, your families and your caregivers.
This Sacramento support group was started in 2010 by Joy Baird, who retired in 2024. In April 2025, I volunteered to expand the group geographically and go forward with this group created by Joy and all the original participants!
My diagnosis came in December 2024, and I was fortunate to have a great healthcare team right from the beginning. MG can be frustrating because it is rare, and there is no pattern of symptoms - no one progression that it follows. Each individual has different symptoms, different types of MG and different treatments that work for them. Truly a SNOWFLAKE disease! My goal is to support, nurture and provide a safe place to share and learn on our MG journey.
We meet via Zoom on the first (1st) Saturday (10-11:30 a.m. Pacific Time) and third (3rd) Tuesday of each month (7-8:30 p.m. Pacific Time). You are invited to attend one or both! There will be some periodic guest speakers, or a “question or topic of the month” to focus on, with ALL meetings having time for sharing/caring! Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join. California has a strong vibrant network of resources, events, and information!
We will continue to coordinate our efforts with all the CA Support Groups for all MGFA Walks, Health Fairs, and local events. Please remember that MG is not a death sentence, it is a LIFE SENTENCE! An opportunity to redefine our life journey and face challenges surrounded by supportive family, friends, our healthcare team and each other!
Feel free to email me with your questions, comments, and suggestions regarding our Group!
Warmly,
Jill C Williams
