One thing I have come across. My nearest hospital is not able to handle a MG crisis. I have to travel 25 miles to get IVIG treatments but the hospital 3 minutes can't give that treatment. I suggest you check now to find out who can handle any problem you might have with MG.

Good point to consider. BTW - does any one wear a med alert? I use to wear one for med allergies (which after all the reading I've been doing may actually not be allergies! -

I don't wear a med alert but I do have a wallet card that Dr. Nicolle put together for the Ontario MG chapter. It has instructions to the doctor and a list of drugs that can worsen a MG crisis. It also has a spot for your Neuro's contact info and your GP's contact info.

Yes, I wear a Med Alert Necklace. When I was diagnosed many moons ago (lol...17 years ago) I was able to get my first Med Alert Bracelet for free. Now I think I pay $35.00 per year to keep the membership and all the info updated. I recommend all MGers wear a Med Alert Necklace or Bracelet. I just feel more comfortable wearing mine, especially when I am out in public.

I love your sense of humor about the tooting! It made me crack up when I read your post. Laughter sometimes is the best medicene. At least it makes you feel good for the moment anyway
