I'm having a thyroidectomy soon because of a suspicious biopsy (the nodules are starting to cause trouble anyway).

I have had Graves (autoimmune hyperthyroidism) for 20 years, which I've treated on and off with a thyroid suppressant. I got my first MG symptoms after a Graves flare. I've had MG flares after other Graves flares. Thyroid autoimmune diseases seem to go along with MG.

I'm getting my thyroid out for reasons unrelated to the MG, but I'm wondering if there's a chance that when I no longer have a thyroid for my immune system to attack, it will calm down MG-wise, too. Wouldn't that be great?
