Welcome to the San Diego Myasthenia Gravis Support Group!
Welcome to our webpage. Our goal is to provide an upbeat, inclusive space to share experiences, information and resources to help you and your caregivers.
This support group started in late 2024 when I found a need to connect locally with other “MGers.” When I was diagnosed in 2019, I was handed a brochure to register with the national registry and a couple of pages about Myasthenia Gravis. I searched for resources and was frustrated by the lack of information. I felt alone. Once I discovered the support groups, I wanted other patients to have a place to share, learn and feel supported in our MG community.
We meet via zoom the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6 pm pacific. ALL are welcome and encouraged to join. In 2025, we will have a few in-person gatherings (dates to be determined). We work with other MG support group leaders, patients, caretakers and medical professionals to provide a platform to support and educate patients and caregivers.
Please feel free to email us with your questions and comments, and suggestions regarding this site (including any pertinent web links), at: MGSanDiegoGroup@gmail.com.
