Hi Tyson,

I have bulbar MG too...The plasmapheresis treatments help me a lot, but my symptoms come back fairly quickly...Sometimes only two weeks after the treatment...

It sounds like you have a lot of limb-weakness...What bulbar muscles are affected by your MG? Mine are my tongue, palate, neck and chest muscles mainly...Oh, and facial muscles...

I also had a thymectomy this July...My MG got a bit worse after, but I have read that it's fairly common for that to happen with people who've had thymoma and have a lot of bulbar weakness...
