Description

Managing life with a rare disease like myasthenia gravis, or MG, can challenge the way you see yourself. Being mindful of emotional wellness can be as important as adapting to physical changes. Today’s guest, Eri, had to re-envision himself when his MG diagnosis challenged the role he played as a provider for his family and pillar in the community. Before the onset of his symptoms, he had never considered what challenges he would face in maintaining such a demanding life. By making lifestyle changes and cultivating a support system that strengthened his emotional well-being, Eri learned to prioritize his health alongside his responsibilities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
