- Seronegative Myasthenia Gravis
- MAYA (Myasthenia Advocacy for Young Adults)
- Junta en Español (Spanish Language)
- Caregivers
- Pediatric (Children and Teens) – please use this form to register
- Parenting with Myasthenia Gravis
Upcoming MGFA Support Group meetings are listed BELOW or SEARCH by state, region, dates, or type. Have questions? Reach out to us at mgfa@myasthenia.org. You can also reach out to any support group leader; contact emails are provided for each group.
