I went into crasis for over three years i was struggling with mutiple of symptoms. As i speak I'm yet to be diagnosed. I had to check on Google to know what is wrong with me. It's only by the grace of God I'm still alive.
Sorry to hear you're going through so much. If you'd like to inquire about scheduling, please reach out to us via our website using Klara.
Thank you for this extensive, yet understandable explanation of the varying treatments for MG. It’s the most complete and clear summation I have encountered. Frustrating to discover that I could have had a thymectomy 40 years ago, yet it was never seriously presented to me or discussed by my neurologists (at a major teaching hospital) at a time in my life when if would have been optimal. I especially appreciate your comparisons of the various modalities and their associated side effects and treatment timelines. Kudos as well for the embedded captions - so much better than trying to follow a transcript created with inaccurate speech recognition programs.
You're welcome. We are glad you found it helpful.
It seems to be a trial and guess game. How much does all this cost the patient s?
I am new on this site and only diagnosed one year ago. Thank you
Thank you. I had the best neurologist dr Levin in Mesa AZ. I was a textbook when I went to see him. I had double vison, couldn’t talk, eat,. I had IVIG and later Solris infusions, and right now I’m doing great. Thank you Dr Severstein
Happy to hear you are doing well!!
Thank you for such a complete and easy to understand coverage of MG. I was diagnosed in my 20s, but probably had it before then (looking back). The diagnosis was 35+ years ago and because I was seronegative, my neurologists have been hesitant to do much more than pyridostigmine or neostigmine. The main question is always: do we treat for antibodies? Then, 20 years ago I developed CRPS. It's difficult to find anyone who will treat both, but I was successful, at least temporarily. After this very brave and knowledgeable anesthesiologist as a Pain Management doctor, and CRPS pioneer, she retired leaving me to retired life that has been tortuous. The new Pain Dr. refuses to go very far to treat pain, so the stress from the pain triggers MG symptoms. That means the Pain Dr wants to push me over to my neurologist who has not been treating CRPS. Your discussion will be useful in bringing the specialists together.
Thank you again for making things so clear and accessible.
You're welcome. Sorry to hear you've had to go through all that.
Great talk Dr.
This is so very helpful!! Thank You!!!
You're welcome!
Great video on MG. Thank you so much sir for your very clear explanation about Myasthenia Gravis.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
You're welcome
Would love it when blurry vision and eye jitter are recognized by MD.commonly mentioned in support group but never by MD. Also only heard from my MD that mestinon is used in 'lots of NMD ' so being triple sero neg and being strong responder to mestinon means nothing. I still would love to regain more of lost function but with evidence based only treatment and being sero neg I am doomed to spend the rest of my life at 25% what I used to be grateful to have even the little SSDI gives.
Wonderful explanation.
Thank you.
you're welcome

Hi is there a support site in uk
thank you for making this video. but i am confused on one thing. And i have not got any direct answer to this. i had thymoma cancer. it was removed. 2 years later. i got MG. so the theory on the thymas gland being removed and 70% less to get issues. Seems im one of a kind on this.
Lupus and Sjorens and Fibromyalgia and MGD and Myasthenia Gravis ❤ pray for me
Does that top part say EDs & PoTS? I have those too. 😬
Yes, it does
