I have Generalized Myasthenia Gravis, diagnosed in Oct 2008. Thymoma and thymus removed Jan 2009. I am taking 4 - 60 mg mestinon and go for IVIG every 30 days. I am not and have not been on any steroids as I come from a family that is too sensitive to many pharmaceuticals. Side-effects are worse than the disease. I have been reading about CBD and wondering if you know of anyone that has used it without side effects?
Thanks so much Ellen
