Thank you for this presentation. As a person with Mg, it's good to see that research is progressing on several fronts.

Excellent information and presentation. I've always wondered why they hadn't targeted the mechanism that creates the antibody. Looks like they're well on their way to doing just that! Would be a Godsend to ween people from the current immuno-suppressive shotgun approach!

I am on Mestinon.

Very lucid and up to date presentation. Thank you Ma'am. What is the mechanism of Steroid worsening of myasthenia?

[@thebookofyoubiblestudywith6527]

not clear but possibly related to changes at function of the residual Acetylcholine receptors> it is transitory but must be watched for carefully

[@drbabu6384]

Thank you Ma'am

I don't believe here in the UK, that enough is invested in research or new treatments. I can no longer walk, I can only get about in a scooter or wheelchair.

Blood test

[@thebookofyoubiblestudywith6527]

Not really unless another diagnosis is being considered such as inflammatory muscle disease which in minority can co exist with MG.

They may be scanning the brain to test for MS as MS and MG can be related.
