Hello there! Imuran suppresses the immune system, same as Cellcept or Cyclosporine. I am on 150 mgs a day of it and think it is finally beginning to work! YAY!

Imuran is used (in my case) for my MG. I tried Cellcept, but it didn't work as well and had to be pulled off of it - plus, Imuran is a LOT less expensive......bonus!

I am so sorry you are going through this. It must be just awful!

Exercise is really hard. I am only able to stay on my treadmill for a few minutes b/4 I tire out. Walking outside is not an option for me b/c the Texas heat always kicks my butt! LOL! Talk about wiped out.

Ask you r d how (s)he expects you to exercise with MG and which exercises are best for you....what type do you have? Generalized? MuSK?

I'd love to hear from you when you have the time/energy!

Erin

I'm thinking I have the later, because I have no symptoms of RA. I'm always stiff at night and my neck is always on fire and stiff and hurts. This on top of having MG. Life is just peachy. Guess what, if I have psoriatic arthritis, the best thing you can do is exercise. How do you do that when your muscles tire out so quick??????
