Why use MG Connect?
The Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) Tracker is the most commonly used tool to measure and monitor gMG symptoms over time. It measures 8 common signs and symptoms that relate to daily life. Answering the questions based on the impact gMG has had on your quality of life over time, compiling your scores and tracking your totals can give you a visual picture that can be useful to share with your healthcare team.
Whilst the MG-ADL Tool is comprehensive, everyone’s experience can differ, so we also encourage you to use the notes section to personalise your symptom monitoring and track what matters most to you.
