If you don't mind a side-topic, I was interested in your question about triggers. I am pretty sure that what triggered my MG (if that's what I have) was fighting off the swine flu. I was taking care of five kids who had it. I never got it, though I felt achy for a few days, like I was about to come down with it. I started with a bang--got weak and collapsed.

It occurs to me that if vaccines can trigger auto-immune diseases, then perhaps exposure to illnesses can do the same. It seems like my immune system over-reacted. Just a theory. I've mentioned it to my doctors but they haven't commented.
