Hello Barbara!
Fom what my neuro told me, you can still have MG and not have an enlarged thymus........in fact, Scotscat does have MG, but the docs will not remove her thymus b/c it isn't enlarged either.
My thymus wasn't enlarged, in fact, my surgeon said was "Surpirisingly small and very high up" yet I had mine removed about a month after my diagnosis......Granted, I tested positive for EVERYTHING else for MG - antibodies were @ 600 when I was in the ICU.
I did not have a thymoma. My thymus wasn't big, yet I still have MG.
Hope this helps!
 Erin

Now I am wondering do I have MG like the doctor said. My first ach test were ok. The only thing he is basing it on now is my repetitive nerve study on my wrist. Could that just be carpal tunnel? Only thing is my left eyelid still droops. Thanks for answering my never ending questions.  |
