Hello, I'm here searching for information on Myasthenia. Our daughter who just turned 21 has been tested for MG and the CT scan showed that she has hyperplasia of the thymus, (enlargement). The neuro said after a thymectomy, she has a 90% chance of possibly getting rid of the symptoms of MG in time... from 6 months on ... because the body needs time to get rid of the antibodies. I'm hoping to read about the experiences of people who have had a thymectomy. We have an appointment with a doctor who does the Da Vinci robotic operation, on August 24th. I wonder how long the downtime is after surgery as our daughter is going into her senior year of college. So far, her symptoms are being managed with 30 mgs. of Mestinon 3 times a day. She mainly had symptoms of trouble with speech, chewing, and her eyes won't close all the way so they are dry. Any help is truly appreciated. We're all overwhelmed with all of this as she was always a healthy, happy child who never had more than the common childhood diseases and/or a cold. Thank you
