Oh, one more thing. My last chest xray showed linear scarring on the lower left lung. I had a chest xray 2 years prior for surgery, the surgery that started my MG and all was normal. I looked up the scarring on the lungs and the only thing I could find was fibrosis or atelectasis. They said it is when the air sacs don't fill. One of the causes they said was neuromuscular and they gave the example of myasthenia gravis. Has anybody ever heard of this or experienced this? I guess that was my lung crackling sounds. WHich is better this week after bipap.

thanks
kathie
