Tracy, I wasn't saying that she or her son had PIDD. She has a complex health status right now and a second opinion from an immunologist is a prudent thing to do. And there are varying degrees of immunodeficiences, as you know. And so many reasons for them!

Karen, Travel right now could be deleterious for you. It's more important that you take care of your MG and get it definitively diagnosed!

I'm sure there is an MG expert you can see in the area first and then maybe ask them if they know a good immunologist (instead of traveling to DC!). Only you can decide what's best for you. Seeing the right specialist is important. I wouldn't want a dentist to do a pap smear or a gynecologist to treat an arrhythmia or a cardiologist to do an EMG or a neurologist to clean my teeth!

Can't anyone refer you on to Dr. Drachman, at the very least?! He's the leading MG expert at Johns Hopkins.

Take care,
Annie
