Set a gMG treatment goal and share it with your doctor

What would you get back to doing if your gMG symptoms and your daily abilities could be improved?

Let’s call that your Personal Ability Goal—something that’s important to you that your doctor should know about. Together, your Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG‑ADL) symptom score and Personal Ability Goal may help inform your gMG treatment plan.

Sharing your MG-ADL score and Personal Ability Goal matters

When it comes to your treatment plan, your neurologist takes a number of factors into consideration. First and foremost, your MG-ADL symptom score may be one of them. Additionally, your Personal Ability Goal may be another. Put together, all these factors may help your doctor understand what you want from your treatment plan and try to help you reach your goals.

I’m very open with my doctor. So I told him I wanted to be able to go out on short hikes with my dogs again.

Ways to start the conversation with your doctor

Step 1: Track your symptoms with the MG-ADL scale

Tracking your gMG symptoms with the MG-ADL scale can be useful for a few reasons. It may give you and your doctor a more complete picture of your gMG symptoms. And it can also be a helpful starting point for defining your Personal Ability Goal.

Don’t know your MG-ADL symptom score? Use the interactive tool.

GET YOUR SYMPTOM SCORE

The MG-ADL scale assesses the impact of gMG on daily functions by measuring 8 signs or symptoms that are commonly affected in gMG. Each item is measured on a 4-point scale, where a score of 0 represents normal function and a score of 3 represents the loss of ability to perform that function. Total scores range from 0 to 24 points, with a higher score showing more severe gMG.

Did you know? An MG-ADL symptom score of 0 to 1 shows minimal symptom expression, which means minimal or no gMG symptoms.

Step 2: Set and share a clear Personal Ability Goal

Now that you know your MG-ADL symptom score, think about an activity you want to do that gMG symptoms prevent you from doing.

  • At your next appointment, share your MG-ADL symptom score and your Personal Ability Goal with your doctor—and ask if VYVGART could be right for you.
