winic1, I did not mean to offend you in any way, nor insinuate that you did not belong here! But pain is not an essential part of MG, even though it can be a secondary symptom. I just wanted to clarify that for a "newbie."

What you have been through is horrible. The way you have been treated by "professionals" is truly inhumane. Please accept my apology if I offended you in any way.
