Could Be Worse.

My condition is fairly mild compared to other’s issues I’ve read here. I had to retire a few years early because of MG. A year before MG, I was diagnosed with Achalasia. My esophagus was too weak to allow me to swallow. I’m convinced that the Achalasia was the result of having MG. Surgery (myotomy) corrected that problem.

I do have some limitations with having MG. Many others suffer much more with this illness & other illnesses. My Journey Could Be Worse.

I was on Azathioprine 50MG/twice a day. I was having some minor leg weakness & my neurologist doubled my dosage. Then I started getting monthly infections, mostly UTI. Dosage was reduced back & I haven’t had an infection since. I’d rather deal with a little leg weakness than monthly doctor visits to get antibiotics.
