Default Hi Erin

Please don't panic. Lets think about this logically.

The Drs couldn't write mild MG or shes a bit poorly!, as you aren't treated with mestinon alone, you are treated with IV IG and to be treat it with that you have to be pretty poorly, which you know you are. A lot of people with MG are treated with steroids and mestinon and not IV IG.

Like Joanmarie said its 15% mortality, that means 85% dont die of MG. Lets just all be glad that we weren't born 100 years ago when the mortality rate was an awful lot higher over 33% in the first year.

Your strong and tough I think you are just having a bit of a wobble because of the fact your in your favourite place (bit of sarcasm!) the hospital.

Im always having a sneaky peak at my notes when Im in hospital, just for something to do! I would like to take a big red marker pen in and make corrections!

Please dont let this panic you. I really hope you are feeling better soon.

Love
Rach x
