You notice your life is starting to follow a different path. For some unexplained reason, you're on a road that you have no choice but to follow. Your mind tells you that everything will be okay and you will find a way to get back to where you were. Those who are the closest to you, are noticing that you are heading on this path. They try to warn you, but nothing they say and nothing you experience along the way convinces you that this path is not where you intended to be.One day, you wake up and do everything that you normally do. Even though you feel tired, you push through and try to make the day the best it can be until, in a matter of minutes, your world crashes all around you. You find that you can't breathe and no matter how hard you try, your body cannot get air into your lungs. The harder you try, the worse it gets. Before you know it, you are in an ambulance, watching the outer edges of your vision close in towards nothing and then everything else seems like a bad dream. You wake up in the ICU and realize that your life has changed, but you don't know exactly what is wrong. After a few more months pass, you find out you have Myasthenia Gravis and your life has now been put on a Permanent Detour. What you do with your life and how you live with it has changed your life forever. Permanent Detour is the personal story of the author. He tells how he dealt with the symptoms he experienced before he was diagnosed, how he nearly died due to complications of the yet undiagnosed disease, what he experienced working with the many doctors searching for a diagnosis, finally receiving the diagnosis and in doing so, how it changed his outlook on life and all it has to offer.
Download or read book Attacking Myasthenia Gravis written by Ronald Henderson and published by NewSouth Books. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using his insight as a longtime physician, Dr. Ron Henderson describes the productive life he lives despite having a rare autoimmune disease known as myasthenia gravis (MG). He also provides a forum for three other MG patients to share their inspirational stories. A disease unfamiliar to many, myasthenia gravis means "grave muscle weakness" and causes severe weakness and loss of strength in voluntary muscles in various parts of the body. Often debilitating, MG falls into the category of "autoimmune" diseases, which all involve problems related to the immune system. Explaining MG symptoms, treatments, research, and disease-management tips, this book becomes a useful guide for MG patients, their families, and their physicians. And the book goes further. Using MG as an example, Dr. Henderson and others provide tips to all who suffer from chronic health problems for which there are treatments but no cures. Forced by MG to retire eight years ago as an obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Henderson now enjoys improved health but realizes he can never expect to be well unless a cure is found for MG. In this book, he announces plans to expand research into MG and other autoimmune disease through his founding of the International Autoimmune Disease Research Foundation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Myasthenia gravis is one of the many autoimmune diseases, which, according to contemporary Western medicine, offer no known cure, except controlling or suppressing their many disease symptoms. This book is based on the author's own experience of battling against his myasthenia gravis: how he stopped all his medications through a holistic approach to controlling and managing the disease. This book provides insight and well-researched information that he would like to share with those who are afflicted with myasthenia gravis or any other autoimmune disease. Albert Einstein once said: "There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle." Believe in the miracle of self-healing. Healing comes only from within, and not from any external source. Every individual should avail every opportunity to initiate the self-healing process, which is innate in the human body. Just believing in the miracle of self-cure, however, is not enough; you must also empower yourself with knowledge and information to overcome myasthenia gravis through a holistic approach to the wellness of the body, the mind, and the spirit. This book covers every aspect of holistic health to cope with autoimmunity: body detox, diet, lifestyle changes, exercises for muscle weakness, and mental relaxation techniques for vision problems associated with myasthenia gravis. "The human body experiences a powerful gravitational pull in the direction of hope. That is why the patient's hopes are the physician's secret weapon. They are the hidden ingredients in any prescription." (Norman Cousins) Find your own ingredients in your prescription for a cure of your myasthenia gravis.
