Both the Bethesda, MD, MG Support Group and our sister group, the Glen Burnie, MD, Support Group are meetings of persons with MG, MG caregivers, and any person who wants to know more about MG to discuss treatments, medications, how we’re coping with MG, etc., via ZOOM. Eventually the Bethesda Group hopes to be able to return to in-person meetings at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda as well as continuing ZOOM meetings. Our meetings on ZOOM and when in-person are very informal. I usually send the meeting ZOOM link information the weekend before the meeting. We try to carry a positive emphasis about our common disability. Anyone is welcome at both meetings.
