    Craig, the video that you referenced was excellent.  It was hugely encouraging to hear a neurologist who is enthusiastic, as well as knowledgeable, about his work with MG patients.

    I have had both shots of the Pfizer vaccine.  I had no reaction to either shot – not even a sore arm. My MG symptoms did not change at all.

    I was on Imuran 150mg per day for about three years.  It worked well for me, reducing my MG symptoms considerably, with no noticeable side effects.  Then my blood results began to show abnormalities resembling those of leukemia.  After a big scare, the blood symptoms were definitively linked to the Imuran.  I had to stop immediately, and my blood returned to normal after a few months.  My neurologist and I have battled to find a workable alternative and will try cellcept shortly.

    My neurologists have treated my chronic headaches as a separate issue to MG and have been sceptical about a link between the two.  I also found Dr Pitts’ video to be affirming and inspiring.  I too would love to be treated by him.
