Message from the SF Bay Area MG Support Group Leader

Welcome to the SF Bay Area Myasthenia Gravis Support Group!

We welcome everyone from any location! We alternate our meetings each month between Sundays at 10:00 AM PT and Mondays at 5:00 PM PT. Please see below for our scheduled meetings for the year. Email me at mgwarriorssf@gmail.com to be added to the group email list. If you're on Facebook, you can join our private group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/mgsfsupportgroup.

I started the SF Bay Area MGFA Support Group at the end of 2019. That year I led the MG Walk and realized that there wasn’t a support group in San Francisco. I held two in-person meetings before the COVID lockdown, and have been holding virtual meetings ever since. The virtual meetings have been a blessing in disguise as they have allowed many different MGers to connect from all over the Bay Area and beyond!

In recent years we’ve had the chance to meet in-person through the annual MGFA Community Health Fairs, and we hope to have more opportunities in the future to meet together in-person! The goal in creating the group was to give MGers a safe space to come together, whether virtual or in-person, and easily relate with one another over a complicated, rare disease.

Don’t hesitate to reach out to me at mgwarriorssf@gmail.com with any questions, for resources, or to connect with your fellow support group members offline. I’m also more than happy to chat outside of the meetings about all things MG! Hope to meet you at one of our meetings or events!

Sincerely,

Jessica Milanes

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Here you will find notices of Special Events and other SF Group activities

I am beginning to organize in-person meetings/meet ups around the Bay Area! I've put together an interest form (https://forms.gle/bpZ1q1FAPAngDqR96). If you'd be interested in meeting up, please fill out the form and I will work on putting dates, times, and locations together. As of right now, the most voted for is East Bay and I'm aiming for the next 2-3 months.

For our August meeting, we will have Dr. Min Kang present on the Quantitative MG (QMG) Scale. Dr. Kang practices at UCSF and presented at the annual Community Health Fair earlier this year.

For our September meeting, we will have guest speaker, Kristin Neusel of UCB, presenting on Nutrition and MG.
