Well Brian, that is EXACTLY what I'm going through now - AUGH! I really hope I don't have to go to the hospital - hate that awful place!!!!
On the other hand, if it helps me feel better sooner then I guess I have to!!!
How are you feeling today? Are you better?
I believe you mentioned before that there is a site on Facebook where people with MG go - do you know where it is? I signed up cuz' I'd like to make friends with our disease.............
Erin
Hang in there! You'll be back @ work before you know it!!!

I was hospitalized for 2 & 1/2 weeks for it and the complications that went with mine. I just finished 4 weeks of antibiotics yesterday and I finish my prednisone (for the burns on the lungs) in 2 days.
