And if a disease is eliminated from the body and never returns, is that not a cure?
A disease can be put into remission but, no, I don't believe it is "cured" at that point. Even people with cancer can go into remission but can have the cancer come back. It's the genetic (DNA/RNA) "kinks" that are still there. Until they figure out how to get rid of or make that all better, we are stuck with the disease state in our body.

If there was a cure for MG, I'd be the happiest person on earth (along with everyone else with MG). Until then, I'll have to settle for doing the best I can with what I'm given.

Aries, I would still be cautious about the heat. Yes, we get rid of toxins through sweating but who knows when that heat could make you worse.

I know, Mrs. D., even drug names confuse people. At least the FDA is "trying" to keep that from getting out of control.
