Help! I have seronegative Myasthenia Gravis and Rheumatoid Arthritis! I am getting worse! My Neurologist doesn't listen to me!

I am desperate to find a doctor who cares.. Getting weaker and very dizzy and fall a lot and am in pain. Have seronegative MG with breathing, talking, swallowing and the worst fatigue! I get IVIG Infusions every 6 weeks and take Mestinon.


  1. I was given Rosuvastatin for high cholesterol and very soon afterwards I noticed my muscles blew out. So weak I couldn't believe it. I got off of it right away then everything was fine. I tried to tell the doctor but he wasn't listening. Now my new doctor called in the same medicine when he looked at my cholesterol level. I'm calling the pharmacy in the morning to tell them not to fill that prescription. I'm just glad that I quit that medicine. I have to figure this out without taking that medicine. I don't have the diagnosis listed here but couldn't help remembering that ordeal I had with that medication. My son said that happened to him when he was given muscle relaxers. FYI....I don't know a lot about this condition just trying to give you something to think about when you're considering the reason for your condition.

    1. I have a Neuromuscular Dr. in Philadelphia who I see She has me on Cellcept and so far it has been working for me as far as all my symptoms have been concerned, still have balancing issues and use a cane but that’s it. Sounds to me you’re having a crisis and probably should go to hospital if you’re having trouble breathing, find a good Neurologist

      1. Hi there! I’m glad to hear that Cellcept is working well for you. I hope you're finding ways to manage those balancing issues.

        How was your holiday season? I hope you had some time to relax and enjoy with loved ones. Wishing you a very happy new year filled with health and happiness!

      1. I'm so sorry you are experiencing this. It's not right to have a doctor that doesn't listen to you. Please if you are falling a lot and or having problems breathing go to the hospital. Please don't wait. I hope you are able to look at the link provided by and find a proper doctor that will take care of you and listen to your needs. That way you both can create medical a plan that works for you. Take care. I hope the pain goes away and you find the proper help you need. - (MG team member)
