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,

Your doc. sounds like a great guy, why don't you check it with him?

residents can sometimes be very sloppy in what they write in patient's charts.


in Osserman's time, before there was any effective immunosupressive treatment or good respiratory support options, there was a relatively rare entitiy of actue fulminant MG.

but, since then medicine has fortunatley made significant advances.

and any how, you don't sound any where near that...

and I am quite sure that with time, you and your doc, will find the best way to manage your illness.

and I think it is important that he knows about your fears and concerns.
