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...

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.
