I guess I would have an appointment with your primary physician to discuss all of this AND have a basic physical to see if your body can handle it. You should consider any family history of cancer, since suppressing your immune system can open you up to having cancer, including skin cancer if you're in the sun a lot.

Those drugs can not only come with "temporary" side effects but some pretty serious long term ones. I realize that sometimes they are a necessary evil but you need to be fully aware of any consequences of taking them.

Did you see the neuro? Are you satisfied with the discussion?

It is very important to always keep your primary doctor in the loop. Specialists like neuros are great but you need someone who can be the "quarterback" of your care and pull it all together while looking at your overall health, not just your MG health.

I hope you can make the decision that's best for you! Good luck.
