polprncss, I'm glad you are getting closer to the care you deserve.

Doom and gloom? MG isn't easy, but that certainly doesn't mean we're all sitting on death row. My life is greatly diminished, but that's only because I can't do a drug other than Mestinon. But there are a lot of people who function more highly and whose lives are a bit more close to "normal," whatever that means.

Abby, I appreciate you, and your comments. Whether to have a treatment or not is such a personal choice, and there are always individual factors that none of us can know about. And I've known people who would rather take Synthroid than trying drugs like Armour Thyroid or Nature-Throid. We both probably have umpteen examples of medical situations where people did not take as good care of themselves as they probably should have. But it's not for me to say!

I think what can be taken away from everyone here is that caution is useful, great doctors are too, and informing yourself about MG as much as you can is your best tool in living with it.

I'm sure you'll do great, polprncss!!! Enjoy this amazing time being pregnant.

Annie
