Hi huskerdoc76,

welcome to the forum, are you a Dr with mg or just an interested dr????

So by IG, do you mean immuno globulin??
I would love to have ivig more often, but am only given it if I crash, as my neuro says "its far to expensive and hard to get hold of" ( I live in Australia) grrrrrr he doesn't see me struggling everyday

Great to see you around here, looking forward to seeing more of you
Kate

Relatively few Physicians, even Specialists in Neurology who manage many patients with Myesthenia Gravis do not know about it. If your Doctor is not interested in helping you get authorized for it, get a new doctor. Put ** in you search bar and start learning about it. You will be happy that you did.
Cheers!!!
