What a comprehensive resource, all in one document! I see my neuro in 6 weeks for followup. We'll discuss whether the MG diagnosis is correct and if it is, what treatment is next. This doc is the first time I've seen all the options laid out so clearly. I'm not even a candidate for Imuran as my normal WBC is so low I am below the cutoff where treatment needs to be cut back or stopped.

Thanks
