I really hope you guys take this the way I mean it, in the best of ways with only the intention being to help - Tyson specifically.

Taking Cellcept may cause a headache. But taking a drug may also "reveal" an underlying problem. And no matter the "cause" of a headache, a severe headache is reason enough (more than reason enough) to go to the ER.

New or severe symptoms should always be reported to a doctor. Severe symptoms require emergency care. And I'm going out on a limb here but I believe they "always" require emergency care. Like chest pain. Like hives. Like sudden increased weakness. I'd rather have an ER doctor tell me I'm okay than be severely ill or dead at home.

I spent the majority of my life "pooh-poohing" my own symptoms of MG (had it since birth). I know that so many of us do that. But when it comes to more serious symptoms, like what Tyson just had, the ONLY place we should be is in a doctor's office/urgent care/ER. Forums are great for support but we are not doctors. And ignoring symptoms is never a good idea. And, no, I'm not saying that any of you are saying that!

I've simply seen one too many family members or friends ignore things that made them sicker (including me) and it never ends up well.

Well said, Annie! I couldn't agree more.
