Myasthenia Gravis

Error

In February of 2014 I started loosing my voice and falling at work. They found masses on my thyroid. Then in May of 2014 they found a mass on my thymus. That is when I got my official diagnosis of Mysthenia Gravis. I am currently on Mestinon 60mg, 20mg of Prednisone, 100mg of Cyclosporine. I undergo Rituxan every 6 months and Apheris in the interim. I have one of the top nuerologist in the Country at Houston Methodist Hospital in Medical Center. Right now I have not been hospitalized since January of 2017.
