Club Meeting (Zoom) - Julie Stewart - Myaware Charity
Mon, Sep 21st 2020 at 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Covid-19 has introduced us to meeting via Zoom rather than at our usual venue (West Kirby Sailing Club). Julie will tell us about the work of Myaware, a charity supporting those suffering from myasthenia
Myasthenia means muscle weakness. This is confined to the voluntary muscles, muscles whose action is normally controlled by an individual's will such as the arm and leg muscles, and does not affect either the autonomic system or sensation. The autonomic system regulates the functions of the heart, stomach and intestines. People with myasthenia have characteristically fatigable muscles and the harder people with myasthenia try, the weaker they get. They are often strongest in the mornings and get weaker during the day.
