About Us
MG Georgia
MG Georgia, seeks to provide support, comfort and education for those dealing with Myasthenia Gravis. Our group holds monthly support group meetings and semi-annual meetings featuring speakers who are experts in Myasthenia Gravis treatment and research. We encourage you to discuss anything you learn in the group with your personal physician to see if it is an option for you prior to trying it. We are an all-volunteer group led by people affected by Myasthenia Gravis. We foster a diverse group where everyone is welcome to attend our meetings and events.
In 2023, we became part of the MG Holistic Society a 501(c)(3) organization.
MG Georgia is led by national support group leader Alexis Rodriguez. Alexis has been a MG support group leader for over 13 years. He is also a member of the Rare Disease Advisory Council of Georgia. He has been living with myasthenia gravis for over 25 years and brings a wealth of knowledge to the MG community.

We are excited to invite you to join us this Monday, December 4, for our monthly support meeting. Initially, we had scheduled Dr. Gavin Brown as our guest speaker. However, due to a scheduling conflict, Dr. Brown's presentation will be postponed until the first quarter of 2024.
As an organization, we are well-versed in navigating changes and adjusting our plans accordingly. For instance, during our June Awareness event, we received numerous requests for Andrew, fondly referred to as "the CBD guy," to come onboard as a speaker. We're thrilled to announce that he will be our guest speaker this upcoming Monday.
Andrew, together with Dawn Warner, will present on the topic "The ABC’s of CBD." This session is intended for educational purposes only. It's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new regimen.
Andrew Strickman is a distinguished entrepreneur and advocate for holistic health and wellness. A Georgia resident for many years, his dedication to his community and passion for his roots have been foundational to his personal and professional journey. A youthful prodigy, he attended Emory University at the age of 16! His entrepreneurial drive, coupled with his interest in chemistry, health, and wellness, led to the founding of numerous successful ventures, including CBD Made Easy. Andrew has been a staunch supporter of the Myasthenia Gravis community.
