WHAT IS MG? Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic disabling neuromuscular disease of severe, crippling weakness of voluntary muscles and increases with activity and decreases with times of rest. Symptoms include difficulty in moving, breathing, chewing, swallowing, speaking, and seeing. Often misdiagnosed, it can be fatal if untreated.
Our Mission The Garden State Chapter's mission is to assist MG patients, provide information and education to medical professionals, and promote public awareness and fund mg research.
Chapter Profile It is with a great deal of pride that we introduce this Garden State Chapters Home Page. Our chapter was organized in 1972 at Englewood Hospital as the Northern New Jersey Chapter. From a very small, but dedicated group of volunteers who helped less than forty myasthenia's living in the seven northern counties of New Jersey. We have grown to the point where, since 1980 being assigned the responsibility for the whole state, our volunteers serve over 750 patients in the State of New Jersey.
