Unfortunately, even with treatment, you will likely never be 100% again. Only a teeny fraction ever achieve that. I know of one person, personally, and she had MG as a child and it went away in her late teens and has never returned. You will need to learn how to adapt to the day to day changes while working to find the right combination of drugs and adaptations to make your life as fulfilling as it can be. Remember, this takes time, and trial and error. There is no magic formula.

Good luck!
Is Imuran and cellcept the two other drugs to be considered?

It is the neck thing that concerns me the most. It is a bit painful (strained), not bad, but annoying that one is compelled to hold it up with a hand.
