The Myasthenia Gravis Foundation provides a wealth of resources for MG patients and their families including disease education, research, community events, and wellness strategies. In addition to a patient’s medical/treatment protocol, wellness strategies and positive self management can improve day-to-day quality of life for those living with MG. According to the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation, some of those strategies include:
Sharing facts about MG with family, friends, and coworkers as you feel comfortable
Learning ways to cope
Conserving energy
Staying cool
Accepting help
Potentially recovering some strength through low impact movement and exercise
Proper nutrition and diet modification to help with chewing and swallowing
Learning your rights in the workplace

LUX Infusion helps manage the individual needs of patients requiring IVIG therapy. As a specialty infusion pharmacy, our clinical teams have extensive training and experience in rare diseases, infusion therapies, and complex medical conditions. Knowledgeable pharmacists and care coordination staff guide each patient through the potential medication side effects and, working with the prescribing physician, help manage treatment to reduce the prevalence and severity of relapses.
We also administer in-home treatment to provide a more comfortable and convenient infusion experience. The result is safe, consistent, and compassionate treatment for our patients with nursing needs. Where appropriate, our in-home nursing team trains patients to administer their own injectable or infusible drugs, fostering more independence. After the home visit and administration, our nurses also guide patients on continuing with their therapy, help minimize or manage side effects, and answer questions that patients may have throughout their treatment plan.
