What specific drugs are thought to be related to MG?
Methimazole, a thyroid suppressant. I actually took propylthiouracil, but I understand the action is similar. Methimazole is thought to have an immunomodulatory effect: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1798220

I have had Graves disease for 16 years, but it had been in remission for several years when I had a big flare-up three years ago. I took the thyroid suppressant drug in the spring and noticed the first symptoms of MG in the fall.
