We have learned that all these high paid doctors don't really know that much about this disease. I do see a neuromuscular dr who was on the team that actually discovered the antibodies. He is very smart and his exams are the most through I have had. But his bed side manner is the worst I have ever seen. I don't mind seeing him now that I know what to expect. He was the one that discovered Prednisone was destroying the muscles in my legs.
This is a long hard journey but we will whip this thing

Your wife is pure gold, man....without her, one of those "health care professionals" could have done you in by now! Knowledge is power. Kudos to your fantastic wife. Mark
