Hey, that's great! Yes, it's normal to feel a little off in the car for a while. Frankly, cars were the worst thing for me (and my doctor was only about a 30 minute drive away) for a long while after surgery. Take good care and heal well.

Thank you Dee! Ive been laying low for a few days now and its driving me crazy lol.

SeattleWriter, thank you! Good to know that its normal, i hope it goes away soon, it's just the worst feeling ever.

I hope you feel the results as quickly as possible.

Did your doctor give you any Zofran for the nausea? It really helped me (even though it made me incredibly sleepy!).

Great to hear the surgery went good and you are back home again.

You should be cautious about dropping your MG meds too quickly as the results of a thymectomy can take a year or more to be realized and sometimes much longer for maximal effect according to the MG foundation information.

Hope things turn around quickly for you
Good Luck

@SeattleWriter no, i havent mentioned the nausea, but i will tomorrow when i see him. Hopefully he gives me a prescription. Thanks for the tip! :)

Thanks so much :) yeah i immediately had trouble when my mestinon was tapered down :( im going to try to taper it down again in a few months

I want to share my MG story. I was diagnosed in 1987. I had every symptom associated with MG except for breathing problems, but double vision, muscle weakness in legs and arms, mouth muscles.
I was put on Mestinon and it worked like a charm-only for about 3 months. Next, I had my Thymus removed (Thymectomy) and immediately after my Thymus was removed. all of my symptoms stopped. Today, 2015, I have been in remission for 27 years! I take no medications for MG at all. I do get tired, and I love naps. They say that being tired is not a general symptom of MG, but I say that general tiredness is indeed a symptom and if you need to, take a nap!! It does me good. Today, I am at work, and am feeling extremely tired but feel guilty to leave work just because I am tired. Any thoughts? Thanks :)

Wonderful news! Very glad to hear your update. Be patient with tapering the medicines, it seems if there's anything that we Snowflakes have in common, it's these slow tapering of meds. My Neuro had me taper 1 med at a time, to isolate any effects. With prednisone, I dropped 5mg every 3 weeks. That was a good schedule, going from 60 to 25mg. After that, it was only 2mg every 3 weeks. Most people seem quicker that that, you will find, you are your own best judge that way!

wow remission for 27 years!! thats amazing! Im so happy for you :D and you experienced the results of the thymectomy immediately, thats awesome

I feel you, lol. We shouldnt overwork ourselves but sometimes it's just so hard not to, especially when we have alot to do.

Thank you! That's great, at least you're not taking a big dose now. Yeah im actually on 40mg of prednisone right now, tomorrow im dropping it to 35mg. My neuro makes me drop 5mg every two weeks :P

i tried dropping my mestinon again this week to two times a day and i didnt feel week or anything so im seeing how it goes with two times a day
