Thanks for this info., Jana...I've always wondered about Polio...Polio affects the same parts of the body that MG affects...I wonder if MG is some sort of preemptive strike against polio before paralysis from the infection can take place...Maybe the thymus is kinda like an infection strainer, the way the spleen sorta is, and that's why traces of the infection are in there...

Thanks again...I like reading anything new they come up with when it comes to this wretched disease...

Something else i wanted to add...Isn't it weird that ALS has the same sorta presentation as MG, except taht MG is fatiguable? I've read that thymuses of ALS patients had some abnormalities similar to those of MG patients...I wonder if polio is related to ALS as well, in some roundabout way...
