I did complete the plasmapharesis treatment - 2 treatments a week for six weeks - back in August 2011 with no results either positive or negative.

I've since decided to change neurologists and have had the luck to meet someone I trust who also has MG and she highly recommends her neorologist. He has had me take another MRI of my brain and neck. He definitely believes that I have SPS but I think he's not so sure about the MG diagnosis. His specialty is MS but he has already questioned the meds that my previous neoro had me on, one of which is very strong and bad for my liver and kidney (Dantrolene). So we are slowly getting me off that med and increasing another med that is usually prescribed for SPS (Baclofen).

I have more faith in this new doctor and believe that he will take more of an interest in me than my previous doctor (who was happy just to let things roll on same as usual).

Thanks for your interest.
