Hello and thank you for the information. I am sorry the Thymectomy did not seem to work but at the same time they say it may take months to years before it does so it can still happen. I have heard about plasma transfer but my doctor has not brought it up yet. They are still waiting for my genetic test to make a definate diagnosis but my military health insurance is making it difficult to get approval. As for my eyes, I have a very hard time focusing on what I want to look at. At times I need to close one eye or both eyes for a bit to regain control. It is extremely frustrating. I wore glasses my entire life until I joined the Army where I was able to get corrective eye surgery which worked great. Last year I had surgery on my right eye to adjust the muscle so my double vision would go away but it made me worse. The Dr. said the muscles in my eyes are practically non-existant. During the surgery I had issues with my heart stopping as well so he does not want to attempt eye surgery again. I have been on prednisone for a little more than a month and my Dr. feels it is helping my eye movement yet it doesnt feel like it to me. I am waiting for the results of my CT scan on my chest. I was supposed to find out last week but my wife and I had a son which led to me canceling my appointment. I asked the Dr. to call me with the results but he has not so that doesn't make me feel so good. He normally calls me to tell me a test was negative. I am to go back Thursday though so we will see.
