Whether you are newly diagnosed with MG or have been living with the disease for some time, you have questions about navigating your health and wellness, finding information and educational resources, or tips about living day to day with MG. Having a reliable source of information is vital, which is why we created the MGFA Helpline.
Professional counselors are available to answer your questions about living with myasthenia gravis, provide emotional health support, and guide you to resources to help you manage MG.
1-833-647-8764
Monday – Friday (New expanded daily hours)
8:00 AM to 10:00 PM Eastern Time
Saturday and Sunday (Newly-available weekend hours)
9:00 AM to 9:00 PM Eastern
Over the past year, call volume had risen sharply and demand for our helpline continued past our prior hours of operation every day. In addition, we have witnessed greater demand for weekend hours and for more specialized wellness and emotional counseling engagements.
As a result, we listened to the needs of the MG community and have proactively expanded our daily hours while offering call time blocks on both Saturdays and Sundays.
While helpline operators can’t provide medical guidance (only a treating healthcare provider should do that), they can direct you to information and resources:
- How to find a qualified neuromuscular specialist
- Finding support groups and other types of support
- Where to find treatment information
- Where to find MG emergency or general management assistance
- And more!
The MGFA Helpline is also offering a new service – the MGFA Wellness Navigation program. It is designed to provide more intensive resource navigation to those most in need of ongoing assistance. Ask about potential eligibility when you call the Helpline.
You can still call the MGFA’s main phone number if you have a question about an MGFA program, want to get involved, need a specific MGFA resource, or would like to make a gift. Our office phone is answered Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and you can email us any time at mgfa@myasthenia.org.
THANK YOU TO OUR PRESENTING PARTNERS
