Hello Barbara! I too have back pain - the docs don't know what to do b/c they say the roids should relieve any muscle/joint pain, but it doesn't seem to be the case. With the MuSK MG (and someone please correct me on this one if I make a fool of myself) the problems are mainly ABOVE the neck - chewing, swallowing, etc........unless you are very, very weak........

Are you really weak right now? How do you feel in general? Are you OK?
