Myasthenia Gravis

I was diagnosed with MG almost 3 years ago. I have been taking mestinon, cellcept and prednisone since then. My symptoms are gradually getting worse and the meds only give a a 3 to 5 hour window a day. Meaning, that's how long I have to eat and function in my daily routine. I have had 3 major falls over the course of one month and several minor ones. Should I get a second opinion on my disease or is this common?

The medicines that you are taking may not work for a long time. They lose their effectiveness after some time. This looks to be the case here.
In such a situation, a thymectomy is considered. Do you have a thymus tumor ?
