Sorry you are going through this. I just have to say...GO TO THE ER when you are having problems! Yes, sometimes the doctors may not know a lot about MG, but lots of times they DO! I live in a town of 20K people and every time I've shown up in our tiny rural ER (over a 12 year period) I was taken seriously and treated well. I might add that each time I have also seen a different doctor. Please don't let a few angry, frustrated posts keep you from seeking help!

If you need ER, get someone to take you, or call 911. Once you get there, tell them you are in the midst of being diagnosed with MG and things have gone south. You might even want to pre-emptively print out some brief, concise info on MG, and include the name/number of the doctor you are scheduled to see. Heck, you might even get a more timely referral to a different doc in ER!

I'm sorry about your law practice and the problems with that. I eventually lost my career (in medical field) to MG, and it's devastating. However, since you haven't even begun a treatment yet, it's way early to throw in the towel. At this point, you just need some help---YESTERDAY!

Good luck. Keep posting!
