Myasthenia Gravis and age questions
I have been diagnosis with MG Jan 2014 standard treatment Mestinon, IVIG 3 times so far. Called my doc three weeks ago told him I was crashing he would not do anything so I hunted another doc lucky enough to fine one went to him Friday May 30 2014 crashed Sunday June 1st 2014 could not get up. Went to hospital stayed 5 days took ivig started prednisone 60 MG a day. I have talked to him about a maintenance program (the old doc) or remove my thymus but he says no to all. I am 68 years old he said it too late in life, maybe I don't know but thinking of doing it anyway. Need help advise any similar experience out there. New doc put me on 80 MG a day prednisone today is my 9th day of prednisone and is my weakest period I have read.
Question any older men like me with thymus remove?
Any experience with a program called Sub Q?
