Allison, Thanks for letting us know how he's doing. It sounds like his doctors know what they're doing and are taking great care of him. Surgery is pretty rough on the body and can exacerbate MG, as I'm sure you both know! So maybe he just needs some time to rest and heal.

Sometimes MGers need a reminder that MG gets worse upon exertion too! Mestinon helps but it doesn't do anything for the immune process, even though a study or two have said that it does. And if your husband has any symptoms that are not MG-related, it's not out of the realm of possibilities for him to have another condition, like a thyroid problem for example, that could be making MG worse.

I hope Danny continues to get better. And do something nice for yourself too because being a "caregiver" is hard, stressful work. Even if you aren't actively being one.

Annie
