If your thymus is hyperplastic, then yeah, it may help. If the thymus is not hyperplastic you'll not likely see any change (from what I've been told from the neuro that I asked more details re. tymectomies from.) I had my thymectomy to remove a tumor... the details I was digging for was to find out if it would help with my MG after the fact.
