Hi bny

New member of this group - but not new to MG.

I agree with Sam.

Call your doctor if your symptoms - especially breathing issues - get severe.

Haven't had to call my neuro often - but he has always been willing to take the call or to call me back.

Yes- even a common cold or stomach flu can exacerbate MG.

Also - missing your IVIG may be contributing to your exacerbated symptoms.

p.s. Immunesuppressants are often a "necessary evil" with MG and other illnesses/conditions. Your doctor (and you) will monitor the "pros and cons" of immunesuppressants and make the right decisions for your particular situation. You may not always need to have IVIG treatments.

Let us know how you are doing.
