Thanks everyone for your responses. I'm not new to MG, but I'm definitely new to this whole plasmapheresis stuff.

I'm in Michigan. The doctor is w/ the University of Michigan. I was under the assumption that I would be able to have this done at any hospital, but I'm finding out that this isn't true.

The neuro is tweaking my meds by increasing my mestinon and adding Robinul in hopes of decreasing the stomach issues. He wants me to call him back this week to let him know how I'm doing and if I want to follow through with the plasmapheresis.

For some reason he didn't want to do the IVIG. I questioned him, and he said that it was an option, but that plasmapheresis is effective much quicker.

What do you mean, tysondouglass, when you say you can't have them anymore?
