I think I understand that MG responds to mestinon because mestinon provides what our body has destroyed but needs for nerves and muscles to talk but I havent yet been able to understand what the other drugs are for. I have done a lot of reading about MG but havent found anything that goes beyond the basic of that.

Why prednisone, imuran, etc? Are they for side effects, secondary symptons?

Does anyone have link to more in depth info that might give me more insight/understanding of this illness? It is my nature to try to understand things - obviously within the narrow scope of my ability as I am lawyer/accountant by training and sciences were never my strong point, otherwise I would have followed my true love and been veterinarian :-)

Thanks in advance for being such a great helpful (and truly lifesaving) group!
