Cured?

My husband was diagnosed with MG two years ago. This past summer, a different doctor determined that "the patient doesn't have MG".

Is this possible? His neurologist retired and we aren't sure what to do. Just stop taking the medication and see what happens?

  1. Hi there - thanks so much for reaching out. It's interesting to hear that your husband received two different diagnoses. Is he still experiencing MG-related symptoms that he was experiencing prior to his initial diagnosis? Perhaps there's another neurologist or practitioner (neurologist, opthalmologist, neuromuscular specialist) nearby that he can make an appointment with to confirm about the medications. Here are two articles that might be helpful: https://myasthenia-gravis.com/doctor, https://myasthenia-gravis.com/living/switching-doctors. Please keep us posted on how things go.
