I was 29 when I learned of Onassis’ death and first heard the words “myasthenia gravis.” Little did I suspect that 45 years later, those words would become a large part of my vocabulary…
In February the MGFA and the MG Community lost a dedicated volunteer
and champion advocate of patients and caregivers. Friends and staff remember his
legacy.
When bodybuilder Barry Stalker found out he had myasthenia gravis,
his life did a 180. “I went from being able to squat 400 pounds to my wife
having to help me off the sofa.”
