Default First Steps at Treatment

I love the idea of getting all of you to help me second guess my treatments

I like my Neuro. Especially because, although he did not say it at the time, I think he had me diagnosed within 10 minutes of talking with me. After confirmation he told me about MG.

I've had symptoms for about 6 months limited to speech and eating/swallowing problems. I was diagnosed in January. I need to control the speech as It will definitely cost me my straight commission sales job (I sell high end german cars). I afraid I can't afford to loose my job and health benefits at 60.

The Mestinone has helped but not 100% in controlling symptoms. We did 3 days of IVIG and I was symptom free, but only for 10 days or so.

I guess the options are:

1) IVIG every couple of weeks?
2) Plasmaphoresis?
3) AI chemo?

Just checking to see if I have a good understanding of my situation.
