Default And the diagnosis is......

Myasthenia gravis. I got the results of my SFMEG today. They were abnormal. So I can say I have a definitive diagnosis now of MG. I have an appointment next week with the neuro-optomologist. I am going to try to get a referral to the neuro who did the sfemg. I really liked his manner. I feel somewhat validated and relieved that we can progress in treatment now. The neuro mentioned options such as cellcept, IVIG, plasmaphoresis and thymus surgery. I hope I am a candidate for thymus surgery. I feel it is my best chance for a full remission.

I told my daughter. She took it ok but I am sure she has not had the time to research it on the internet. I sure she will come back with more questions and concerns.
