Do you have problems swallowing?
Myasthenia gravis causes weakness of the swallowing muscles of many individuals, leading to problems involving choking, a terrifying experience, https://myasthenia-gravis.com/living/swallowing-speaking-symptoms, https://myasthenia-gravis.com/diet, and https://myasthenia-gravis.com/living/barium-swallow-experience.
Have you had problems swallowing before? What foods are tolerable? How do you manage to take any prescription pills?
Yes but it never stayed around, now I have a hard time speaking and swallowing food, I make sure there is a drink close at hand...
I am scheduled for a MRI with a cardiologist then it will be back to the Gastrologist to be scoped if the MRI will let them put me under...

Hey there! We are glad to have you join our community 😀 I'm really sorry to hear that you're having trouble with swallowing. It can be quite distressing. Are you currently on any MG treatments? Jodi, Team Member
.No - not yet away - and I hope never . It sounds horrible! Gail Hesley
hope you don't experience that symptom as well! How have you been doing lately? Hope well. Hugs, Jessica (Team Member)
Yes, I have MG. for about 3 years. I'm a physician associate. It is difficult being a patient. I want to ask questions. Fortunately the neurologist at the VA takes the time to answer them. I get ivig once a month. I find this 3-4 hour infusion a happy experience with lunch and wonderful caring nurses.
Hey there, welcome to our amazing community of supportive and caring people! It's so great to see that you've made your treatment into a positive self-care experience and are finding ways to enjoy it. What a wonderful perspective to have!
-Jodi, Team MemberI’m also a vet and retired NP. The VA has been very good to me as well. A bit of a mess at first though. I’ve had 3 hospitalizations for IVIG over the summer. None needed since. Thankful. I hope and pray your care continues to be successful.
