My first round was in Feb I am now on the second round with 4 done and one more to go Tue. What my doctor does is schedule 5 infusions over 3 week peroid. 2 treatments one week, 2 treatments the next week and one treatment the 3rd week. This is done this way because of my age (70). My wife and I now think I have refractory(?) MG. Meaning it is resistive to all treatments. My Neuro said plasmapheresis would be the next treatment he was going to try.
