I personally think that whomever first said "MG is the most well understood AI disease" had a lot to do with the lack of further thought.

Dogs do get MG. There are videos on YouTube showing that.

I think MG is one of the most frustrating diseases out there. There is no "easy" solution to it. Because of that, it often frustrates doctors who treat it. The best solution would be if they could figure out what mechanisms are responsible for starting it in the first place.

Monarsen, a drug that showed great promise, has been dropped into the void. Now that situation is a matter of money/cost-benefit ratio.

There are researchers, like Dr. Angela Vincent at Oxford University, who are still doing the work to figure it out but, no, that doesn't translate into the clinical world very quickly or easily.

And the MGFA needs a spokesperson - and a plan - that doesn't mind admitting they have MG let alone talking about it! The squeaky PR wheel gets the grant grease.

MG is difficult and has no easy answers. Just look at MS in comparison. They just developed a very promising drug for it. However, it's only a drug and not a cure. Again, the mechanisms of AI's are not being researched.

I'm exhausted even thinking about all of this.
