Hi Kathie,

Sadly, I do think actual remission is more than likely not going to happen. It doesn't happen often, especially a drug free remission. However, it doesn't mean that you can't have a functional and full life along with MG. Management and reduction of symptoms is the main goal, and if a remission happens, that's "gravy." Doctors don't go into treatment plans with remission as the sole goal.

I have a teeny bit of experience with Dr Drachman, but haven't been treated by him. I contacted him via email 3 years ago when I began pursuing the reboot option. He was very gracious, explained everything to me via email, and was more than willing for me to come to Baltimore and he'd do the reboot. As it turned out, one of his colleagues had recently transferred to Dallas and I was able to do it there.

If offering to do a reboot via email isn't aggressive, I don't know what is! He is experienced with all of the immune suppressors, so I believe he could help you find something that you can tolerate, and hopefully will give you some symptom relief.

Sorry you are having such a tough time. Keep fighting!
