Thumbs up Hi Alice!

Hello again!

I really find it reassuring that we now have a REAL Dr. on our site! What a coup!

I hope you are right about the dx! All I know is that my chart "fell" open and my dx was "acute MG w/o exacerbation" - looked it up and was really scared! Again, I have an amazing Dr. who takes great care of me and even meets me @ the ER when I need to go in and is always available for me!

I have been truly blessed and lucky! I also KNOW that no matter what my chart says, there is always a chance for remission - always! I NEVER, EVER lose sight of that!

Big hugs!
Erin

and erin, it is great that you have such a supportive neruologist,

I assume that when you say acute MG, you mean acute exacerbation, which can be managed with proper treatment, and should hopefully just be a small drawback in your way to remission.

MG is unfortunately not an acute illness, but a chronic one, and I may be wrong, but from what I have seen, I believe that even those that acheive remission, still have it to some extent, but many can overall live a near normal life with it.
