All options are possible in the "MG lottery":

A. you have an excellent response go into remission, taper down your meds and remain on a very low dose or none at all.

B. You have significant improvement, but require relatively high doses for significant periods.

C. You have no significant response and/or significant side effects. So, don't take any.

D. You have a spontaneous and long remission without requiring any medications.

And you can also have some combination of A, B, C and D.

For me it was D, and C.

I personally think A is a very good deal , B is OK, but requires a lot of thinking regarding long-term consequences, C-is not that great, and D is the best.
