I'm Still Me: My Life with MG

by Jenny Coffey

Written from personal experience with Myasthenia Gravis (MG) and professional experience as a social worker and a child life specialist, I'm Still Me: My Life with MG gives children with chronic illnesses and their families a chance to talk about their challenges and sometimes scary feelings in a non-threatening way, by identifying with a positive, silly, and emotionally expressive character. Like the main character, children living with chronic illnesses may face a number of challenges such as hospitalization, regular medical procedures, changes in physical ability or physical appearance, anxiety, loneliness, and differences in daily routines. Children and their families will feel empowered as they learn they are not alone in their feelings and that there are a number of fun and simple coping strategies they can use any time they feel discouraged or worried. When you learn you have choices, life with a serious illness can be more interesting ...and even fun!
