- I am 60 and was diagnosed 4 months ago but symptoms started 1 year ago. First symptoms were slurred speach, difficulty chewing and swallowing , slow walking. Had MRI to rule out stroke, none detected. Difficult to get neurologist appointment. Blood test was negative for MG. My treatment is mestonin, prednisone 5mg and IVIG 5 infusions monthly. I am advised to have thymectomy. I have fatigue can sleep all night then take a morning or afternoon nap. Still have speech and swallowing difficulty, SOB, balance, and have lost 40 pounds.
