Shopster, do you actually HAVE Myasthenia Gravis?

I KNOW the downside of Prednisone, but for me personally, the benefits of the job that it does to suppress my immune system to the point that it slows the progression of this disease far outweigh the side effects of the drug (I am also taking a low enough dose that the side effects are minimal).

For most MG patients, it is a delicate balancing act, but we all make an INFORMED choice. Last time I checked, it's a free country, and we are allowed to make our own decisions.

My doctor has let me know what the risks of taking Prednisone are, and she is very careful to monitor my health so that if a problem does crop up it can be taken care of. I know what I feel like when I take it and when I am off of it, and for me PERSONALLY, I know which one I prefer. I cannot presume to tell anyone else what is "right" for them, and neither can you.

Forgive me for saying this, but from the tone of your posts, it almost sounds like you are trolling for malpractice clients....
