    • About Me

      Hello all, I've been here awhile but haven't signed in recently. Just had a thymectomy 3 days ago and besides being sore from surgery, my mg seems to be "gone". I am going to continue with my IVIG treatments once a month as well, but I am sooooooo excited about the future right now with my symptoms under control I can hardly contain myself. If any of you need support through a rough patch, hit me up, trust me, I've been there and would be more than willing to be supportive to anyone else.

      IVIG Too Soon to Tell
      I think it helps. My symptoms have been bad lately so its hard to tell how much worse theywould be without it.
      Mestinon Somewhat Helpful
      when i first started taking it 2 years ago, it was life changing. Now it seems to work, but not take the symptoms away completely.
      Thymectomy Working / Worked
      just had it done 3 days ago!! No MG symptoms whatsoever!! Just pain from surgery and what looks like will be an ugly scar.
    • Close Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)

      I have a 3 1/2 yr. old boy is my everything!! The past year and 1/2 I've had to go back to work and he is in full time daycare now, something I never wanted to do when I had kids and I'm adjusting to it as well as he is.

      Treatments

      Child Time-out Somewhat Helpful
      It depends how far into his "fit" he is.
      Positive Reinforcement Working / Worked
      This is extremely important, he is very proud of himself now when he puts his clothes in the hamper or his dirty dishes in the sink.
