Default HEy there!

Hey there!I just wanted to drop you a quick note and see how you are today/........I cannot imagine how frustrated you must be and I am so sorry for you. Do the docs have ANY idea of what you have, if not MG? I just don't see why it's so hard to diagnose you and give you the medical treatment you deserve. I'm still inb the hospital - 5 days of plasmaphoresis and now 4 days if IV IG - I was pretty worn down - but I was thinking of you Take care and stay strong! Erin

They drew a boat load of blood and now I have to see their pulmonary and GI docs..I don't know how long that will take. My J-tube has been clogging or pulling out ~every 2 weeks and my docs down here want me to get one surgically placed...I was hoping to have a solution to this swallowing crap before it came to that.

I'm totally frustrated..and apparently there is nothing that I can do.
