Raymond, a retired designer, lived with HIV for 40 years before the onset of his myasthenia gravis (MG) symptoms. As a longtime caregiver for his mother, he was no stranger to the hospital visits and advocacy that is part of seeking quality care. However, after his mother’s passing and the start of COVID-19, he chalked the fatigue and muscle spasms up to stress. It took various specialists to reach proper testing and his official MG diagnosis. Raymond had shifted from caregiver to being his own fierce advocate and was able to gain a new perspective on his relationships and prioritizing self-care. No stranger to managing the effects and stigma of a chronic condition, Raymond maintains even stronger personal connections and boundaries.
