I know that teachers have been shown to have more autoimmune diseases due to exposure to kids and germs but this is almost too funny. I didn't know so many of you were teachers. I am an art teacher, although I didn't teach very long. I went into marketing instead.

Why do neurologists want to think a thymectomy is a magic fix right away? Like the rest of these guys have said, it can take awhile to kick in and may not for some people. I hope it does for you - and fast!

And you can't judge how you are doing by the antibody tests. Only a clinical exam and other tests like breathing tests.

I often wonder if the reason neurologists are so "weird" is that they want to be able to fix us but can't. Or maybe there are lots of other reasons they tend to be the way they are.

My Dad was a teacher too, and Mom. I'm grateful I had teachers for parents.
