I'm a 66 year old male that came down with MG about a year ago, but looking back believe I had symptoms before that, maybe a year or two with some problems with blurred vision. In any event I had a CT scan and it showed no problems with My thymus gland, but as part of the therapy for MG I wanted a thymectomy and had a VATS thymectomy performed at Columbia U. last May. To date I have not noticed any significant difference in my symptoms (blurred vision and problems eating, talking, etc), but from everyting I have read it takes at least a year to see some results. Currently I'm on 6x60mg of mestinon and getting by.
