  • 20mg tablets for 30 days
  • 10 mg tablets for 30 days
  • 5 mg tablets for 30 days

After some time on the maintenance level, the Preds will end.

At this time he will prescribe an immune suppressor and wants me to learn the relative benefits and drawbacks. He likes Cellcept.

He also refereed me to some special MG group at Stanford Hospital. My neurologist said they are the experts and will know the best immune suppressor for my individual needs.

He has only diagnosed 2 other patients in 5 years.

I asked him if I would have been diagonalized with a negative blood test. He said no. They would move on to the other tests.

Second CT scan of the abdominal reveal no problems. There is a larger than usual adrenal gland. I'll Google it later.

The things that I have learned here has made a big difference.

Yep that is why I am going through a bunch of test even though I have all of the symptoms. Im glad everything is working.
