📚 WHAT’S IN OUR RESOURCE LIBRARY?
🍷 Alcohol Consumption and Myasthenia Gravis (MG) | Possible Impacts of Alcohol

Can you drink alcohol when living with MG? While there isn’t one answer that applies to everyone, understanding how alcohol may affect your MG can help you make informed decisions.

This resource explores potential effects of alcohol on MG symptoms, fatigue, hydration, sleep, heat tolerance, and medication safety. You’ll also find practical considerations for safer alcohol use, information about possible medication interactions, and guidance on when it may be helpful to talk with your healthcare provider.

💙 Whether you’re considering an occasional drink or simply have questions about alcohol and MG, this guide can help you know what to consider.

Respiratory Health & Myasthenia Gravis

When it comes to MG there is another area that deserves special attention: your breath. ✨

Breathing is something most of us do without thinking about it. However, the muscles that help us breathe—including the diaphragm and muscles between the ribs—can also be affected by MG.
