Default Blessed Plasmapheresis- My tongue's not paralyzed anymore!

Hey guys,

I've been feeling so crappy the last few weeks...I started plasmapheresis again on Monday...I started to notice I could talk for longer...Then after my treatment yesterday, I had no tongue paralysis AT ALL! I'm so happy right now...I swear, when the body parts get that weak, I go into panic mode...

Something else that was pretty cool happened...I met another MG patient...She was having an exchange as well...She mainly has limb weakness, no more bulbar/ocular weakness...She got MG 2-years ago when pregnant...Anywho, we started talking...She has the same neuro. as me and was talking about seeing Dr. Nicolle in London...She said that she's heard great things about him, as have I from this site...She also mentioned that she ordered a book from the internet that was edited by him and written by an MG patient called, 'You, me and Myasthenia Gravis.' I was thinking that I should go ahead and order that book as well as it's so hard to find anything about MG anywhere other than the internet...

So after the exchange, I go to visit my sister and she tells me she just got a book that she ordered for me...IT was the book! I was so excited...So many funny coincidences...

Anyway, it's a terrific book...It talks about autoimmune MG, LEMS and congenital...It's very reader-friendly, easy to understand...Great book!

Nicky
