Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with MG three months ago and went for a second opinion and received a diagnosis of PN. One doctor, the first, is asst prof at top hospital in big city. The second doctor was my Primary's choice because he believes him to be "smart cookie." I have some pain, but my major problem is the inability to eat solid food. In fact this is the issue that brought me to my Primary. This latter problem continues to get worse. I had 3 Emgs. Small and large fiber (watever that means) and I am waiting for third set of blood tests to determine what kind of IVIg I will receive. I'm to enter large metropolitan hospital for five days and receieve IVIg for five straight days. This is to be followed by one treatment monthly. Neuro indicated that it would take at least six months before he could decide on next approach. I am trying to put him in contact with the prof from the hospital and he did have his secretary take down name. I believe he will since he has privileges in the sames hospital. I would welcome any info. I am feeling a bit lonely and out of sorts. Sometimes anxiety does get the best of me, although lately I've brought it under some resonable contol. Thanks
