Steph, Has your doctor considered IVIG? Plasmapheresis is often used during an MG crisis situation and not as a regular treatment. I know there are some patients who do get it regularly but it's usually because their MG is more severe or "brittle." And, yes, with some patients it does work better than IVIG.

You really need to know all of the potential side effects of it. It's not without complications.

Every patient is different. Some patients have more than one condition that makes it important to have it done in a hospital setting. Just have a good conversation with your neuro about all of this.
