Has he had a thymectomy?

Joanmarie -
Thank you for your post. He's been on medications for three weeks and he has not had a thymectomy. I was told that because of his age (91) his thymus is tiny. The mestinon worked magically for the first week after diagnosis, then swallowing became impossible. He'll have to start tube feeding today.
Does your ability to swallow vary that much. Of course, I doubt you are 91!
