Bring a cake, and some music. Have some fun with it.

Seriously, Brian, I hope it goes well. Pain can be useful, right? You are soooooo happy when it's over.

Actually I am looking forward to it. Not this test particularly but hopefully the results that come from it. I'm meeting with one of (if not the) leading MG researchers in Canada tomorrow to review my case and see what else can be done to get it into remission rather than maintenance mode.

Hey Brian,

Good luck tomorrow! I hope you get all the answers you are looking for. Take care and let us know how it went.

Big Hugs,
Pat

Are you by chance meeting with Dr. Nicolle in London, ON? He is the leading guy in this area - I'm lucky to have him as one of my prime caretakers... my neurologist (who also interned specializing in MG) referred me to him so I have both of them looking after me.

I am indeed. And from my research, you are indeed lucky to have him as your neuro. My primary neuro is not a MG specialist and he's currently out on stress leave because he's so overloaded looking after all the neurology patients in a very large area.

I'm lucky that my neuro knew the minute she saw me (with my eyes) that I had MG and she did the proper tests right away and got me onto mestinon.... then right away into Dr. Nicolle for verification and the emg etc. etc. I now see my reg neuro every 3 months and down to seeing Dr. Nicolle once a year - unless of course any problems pop up them they see me right away etc. etc. But Dr. Nicolle is the one who got me onto the type and schedule of meds etc. that I'm on now. So between the two docs I'm monitored well now.

I just started SCREAMING at my computer!!!! Dr. Nicolle's paper is like my MG "bible"!! I keep a copy in my purse -- just in case I need to educate any ER docs, EMTs, etc.

I would be talking the poor man's ear off!! Brian, I hope that you have a LONG, LONG appointment!!

WOW!!

I know, Brian, I was trying to be nice. Deepak isn't high on my list, mainly because he acts like he is a self-proclaimed Guru. I heard him say on Larry King, quite proudly, that he has never been sick. As if he'll never get sick because he can "think" his way out of it. Good luck with that.

Annie
