Thank you for the update. So glad you found a doctor who you can trust and understand.

Our myasthenia gravis forum has patients who have had plasmapharesis.

Also it is done in GBS neuropathy.(Guillain-Barré Syndrome).. a friend of mine had it.
It can be very very effective. It removes troublesome antibodies that are attacking nerve tissue.

It sounds worse than it really is, from what I have seen so far.

Good luck, and hoping it works well for you.
