Thanks, Teresa. I appreciate your indignation on my behalf! This is already my third opinion. This is the neurologist my old neurologist sent me to just to make sure I really had MG before he started me on the immunosuppressants. He's the MG specialist for the whole area. My next "second opinion" would be Mayo, which I certainly haven't ruled out.

He is happy to keep me on the Mestinon, and my prescription right now is for 180 pills a month, which is way more than I need--I take three or four a day.

I have an appointment in a couple of months, at my request, which I intend to keep even if nothing's different. The reason I'm being so passive about the whole thing is that at this point, I don't think I would want to go on the immunosuppressants even if he recommended them--because I was better for a while, and want to wait to see if my current relapse is going to last. I am not as sick as most of the people here. There is some justification at least for waiting to see how things develop before starting the big-guns drugs.

Thanks again for your concern. I really appreciate it.

Abby
