It's really nice to have this forum to read. He's been home from the hospital for 3 weeks now - had two more IVIG's last thurs & friday - he had a terrible reaction and spent last night in the local hospital. We are now waiting for approval to try Rituxan for MG - (he had one treatment at Maine Medical Center last month w/no bad side effects!!!) there have been some case studies that look very promising for him. The drug has not been approved by insurance ($6K per treatment) and I believe it would be 6-7 treatments 2 weeks apart to start . His doctor is also willing to do a paper (study) if the drug company will pay for the medicine.
