Hi, how old is your sister, and how long has she been on her meds? Prednisone can cause thinning of the bones. Is she taking it, and how much? Orwhat meds is she on.
She may need a more aggressive treatment, and she may also need to see a neuromuscular specialist who specializes in MG. Sorry to say,Not all neuros are equal..smiles.
My first neuro was really nice, but she really new very little, I now see a neuromuscular specialist through the MDA, and what a difference.
It will get better, but it does take a lot of time to work it all out.
Does she have other medical problems other than MG?
So many things play in this. But the meds, prednisone can cause the thinning of the bones.
My first year was horrible too. It's a terrible roller coaster ride.
best of wishes
Love Liz
