Could this be MG

I visited my daughter in hospital in Brisbane Australia on 24th January this year. The weather had been hot and humid and I found myself almost unable to walk and out of breath when I went back to the car which was parked about 400 metres away from the hospital.

If the car was hadn't been airconditioned, I don't think I would have been able to drive back home.

Yes that can very well be MG. Hot weather turns me into one large slug. Hot weather affects I believe all Neuromuscular diseases. Every summer, I do everything I can to stay cool. Not always easy.

Like Lizzie said, the heat is definitely a trigger for MG. Try not to get over heated, or do too much when it is really hot out. I just generally cut back on everything I can during the summer months. This is just one of the things you will now have to watch out for. Check out the many good sites posted in the sticky at the top of the MG page. One in particular which I found helpful is http://www.myasthenia.org.au/html/lifestyle.htm which just happens to be from down under! :D
