Myasthenia Gravis and surgery

Posted By Jennie on October 09, 1998 at 16:13:10:







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
