Hi there!
Hello and WELCOME! You are going to LOVE this site!
4 weeks and you are already feeling better? What wonderful news! Sounds like you are on the road to remission! What a blessing!
Just remember to rest when you are tired - I was up and cooking 9 days after mine and I truly believe that's why I am having kind of a hard time now......Granted, it's probably just me, but I just wanted to make sure you take care of YOU for the time being!
I think it is grea that you that surgery! I had the regular one - with scars on my chest, but I consider them my "brands of honor" when people mention having them removed - after all, how many people have scars from a thymectomy? Not that many!
How are YOU today? Are you feeling better?
THanks for the positive words?
Erin

i want to share with all of you, especially with women, my choice of having a cosmetic procedure done : a "submammary incision with skin flaps" (a scar hidden under my breasts)...it was really a great choice as it preserves the upper chest skin free of scars ....and it doesn't show at all!!! i believe that this helps to forget....as you don't see it everytime you are facing a mirror.
i took out an enlarged thymus and now my neuro suggested me to add to my mestinon treatment a antidepressant drug (Zoloft / sentraline hydrochloride), in order to help myself getting stronger! he claimed.... has anybody had a similar recommendation?
nice meeting you
P.S Sorry for any :mistakes in my english.. i know it is not always perfect..
