    Hello MG friends ,

    I wear hearing aids and can barely hear from both of my ears and it is due to MG,  I was on Azathioprine and Prednisone for longest period of time  and was going for IVIG monthly. I stopped taking Azathioprine and Prednisone about 6 years ago , due to side effects ( elevated liver enzymes and weight gain) . Stopped IVIG about 1.5 years ago as the effects were only lasting about 3 weeks and I was having to go back for infusions sooner. At this time my MG symptoms have been well controlled with Cellcept, Mestinon and Rituximab infusion every 4-6 months.

    Please make sure to get your liver enzymes checked every  couple of month ,while on Azathioprine
