Muscle Weakness
by Barbaraspr, Nov 19, 2007 08:03AM
My father was diagnosed 9 years ago with Myasthenia Gravis and had a Thymectomy. Mestinon, Cellsept, and Imuran have not alleviated his symptoms. Currently he is on 7.5 mg of Prednisone. The muscles in his entire body (except his eyes) have gradually worsened over the years. He also suffers from two other serious diseases: polycystic kidney disease and pemphigus. It has been challenging for his doctors to treat all three of these illnesses. For some reason, his general practitioner is not sure that his muscle weakness is due to the Myasthenia. Is there anything else that he could try for the Myasthenia or is it possible that there is another diagnosis? Thank you for your help, Barbara
