Subject: Myasthenia Gravis and surgery Hi! I was diagnosed with MG over 2 years ago, and I have had a thymectomy and been on prednisone. I have also had many svere crises, but at the moment I am doing well. I am only on mestinon 60mgs 3x a day. I am having hand surgery, and it will be done with a general. The neuro is thinking about doing a course of prednisone before surgery, but previous experiences with prednsione has been horrific. I was wondering any other treatment exisited out there besides prednsione. Thank you, jennie | |
