    My Neurologist told me about a relatively new drug, been out about 4 years, called SOLIRIS It’s a prescription medicine used to treat adults with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody positive. My Neurologist came close to putting me on it when I was in the hospital for 9 weeks. Unfortunately it is very expensive. he is one of only 2 doctors allowed to prescribe it to hospital patients. The cost, before insurance, is $775,000 per year and once started must be taken for life. But apparently it does work.
