Mary,

If you ever have surgery in the future, they can use a pediatric gas called Sevoflurane (sp?) for intubation instead of a muscle relaxer. That is what they used for me due to the MG.

Levaquin (quinolones) can be very bad for MG but some people can tolerate it just fine.

I hope the biopsy goes well. If you are prone to faint at all during pain, ask them to keep a cold pack or two handy (or cold washcloths). If you put one on your neck and wrists, it will help. Also, moving your legs (if they aren't doing it there) helps.

Good luck.

Annie
