"I felt lost. I realized I couldn't be without football." -Brandon Cox
Brandon was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis (MG) when he was 15. He was the starting quarterback for Auburn University. Football, education, and family were Brandon's priorities. He struggles with vision and fatigue. Continuing to do well in football was important to him. He wanted to feel confident in his abilities and in control of MG. Occupational therapy could assist Brandon in energy conservation and fatigue control. Adapting to his vision will be important, especially in driving. Stress reduction can be done with deep breathing, muscle relaxation, and meditation.
