Can There Be Too Much Awareness?

You may be wondering why I ask...
June is Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month
MG is a rare, incurable, autoimmune neuromuscular disease. 
It affects the voluntary muscles, it can cause weakness of your arms and legs, blurred or double vision, slurred speech, and impair the ability to chew, swallow, and breath.

If you are a person living with such a disease there can NEVER be too much awareness. You spend every minute of every day hoping someone will find a cure, or a better treatment. You hope and pray that when you post something on social media it gets shared, liked, retweeted, or commented on. You hope a celebrity will take up your cause and agree to be a spokesperson for your disease. You try to dream a challenge that will flood the internet with inspiration, awareness and donations for a cure.

ALL YOU REALLY WANT IS SOMEONE TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR DISEASE!

So PLEASE don't ignore that post, tweet or video, someone's life may depend on it...
Someday it might be YOUR life, or that of YOUR CHILD...
