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.
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

my heart goes out to you. <3 I am so sorry to hear you experiencing communication issues with your current doctor and not feeling well. I can understand how disheartening and frustrating it is when you do not feel heard by medical professionals. I included an article that we have on finding a doctor who understands MG. Within the article you will find a link to search for a specialist in your area through the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America - https://myasthenia-gravis.com/living/finding-doctor-specialists. I truly hope you can find a doctor you feel comfortable with and some relief. Sending many comforting hugs. -Jessica, Team Member
