I saw Dr Drachman in Neurology.
When I was going to Yale I was given 2 options. Prednisone, or Azathioprine.
Prednisone made me crazy. And Azathioprine has some side effects I didn't care for, along with the fact that it could take 8 to 12 months to actually work.
None of the tests given at Yale even proved conclusively that I had MG.
Once the EMG done at Johns Hopkins showed I have MG, the doctor prescribed 4 infusion treatments and Tacrolimus to be taken first, then followed by Celcept.
I'm still waiting for my insurance company to approve the treatment.
My experience at Johns Hopkins was first rate and I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere with this!
Good luck to you!
