Hello everybody!!

I was diagnosed with MG back in April. Since then i feel as if I have had every test and procedure done under the sun!! I was put on Mestinon and it seemed to work the first week but my eye is back to drooping and the fatigue comes and goes. It is very disturbing when your speech starts to slur or your hands aren't working the way that they should. It started with just double vision but it seems as if the other symptoms came immediately after I was diagnosed. After my appointment on Friday, I was told that I need to see the surgeon to have my Thymus removed. Do they really have to cut your chest open like open heart surgery. I was fine until i was told that and that I may have a scar in the middle of my chest. For you all that have had this done....how do you deal with the scar? How was the surgery? Is it a long scar? How is recovery? And how were your symptoms after surgery.

HELP.....very scared and looking for answers

Thanks!
