    I'm glad you're able to stay safe and that you have a back garden also. I hope your appointment with your neurologist goes well. 

    I am also mainly staying at home, going for walks occassionally. Thanks for asking!

    Hello I’m new here. I wondered if anyone has been admitted urgently for MG swallowing problems.  Thus far my MG has been only occurs.  I’ve had 5 days IVIG treatment and have been an inpatient for 9 days now. I had a minor op under general anaesthetic 11 days ago and have 5 other autoimmune conditions. Any comments/ advice  appreciated. Thanks

    Welcome to the community @Jo07387 :) Thank you for joining us! 

    This post is a few years old now, but I hope that someone with a similar experience to you will see and respond to your comment soon.

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been unwell. How are you finding the IVIG treatment?
