Has anyone heard of chemo. being effective for MG? I feel like it might be worth it to go through the torture for a little while in order to have a better life later.

P.S. Wanted to mention again how much I detest this disease.

Well, Rituxan, which I'm about to start getting, is a form of chemotherapy. It's the chemo used for lymphoma, but it has been showing some promise in treating MG as well, especially people who are MuSK positive. I'm seronegative, but the doc wants to try it anyway, so I'm going to do it. I'll let you know what happens!
