Since she has been in the hospital so much she actually has a team of Dr.s working on her. She is in Loma Linda University Hospital, supposedly one of the better hospitals. I can't personally tell you how good they are and I sometimes wonder myself...sigh. She was taking prednisone and that is most likely what has caused her bones to get soft---or that is what we are being told. They have stopped giving her the prednisone but it is the prednisone that was helping with the Myasthenia Gravis so much. Just can't seem to win!! My sister is 57 years old and up intil the onset of this disease she was the picture of health. She walked her dogs 3-5 miles each day. She lives in the mountains and was always an active person. She ate such healthy foods...I only wish I ate half as healthy! Her only problem before the MG hit was she had a tooth problem. She went to the dentist and had it fixed and wham! That very same day she started with the first symptom--double vision. It was one symptom after another after that. Don't know if the tooth/possible infection had anything to do with this but it is odd. Her wieght "was" good (now she is as thin as a rail). In this last year she has gone from a perfectly healthy person to a sickly, very depressed person. It is ripping me apart watching her go through this. We talk daily although just before she was diagnosed with MG I moved 3,000 miles away from her. Now we still talk by phone daily. I'm just trying to find out any and all information there is regarding Myasthenia Gravis. I need to know.....sigh. I guess I want a miracle. But miracles do happen and I will not give up!!!
