    I was diagnosed with MG 22 years ago and had a thymectomy right away. I did not have a Thymoma. My main symptoms were upper body and facial weakness and trouble swallowing and speaking. I’d say it took over a year to see an improvement after the thymectomy. However, I was able to go off all medication and was in remission for nearly 20 years. Unfortunately my MG came back in 2019 with nearly all new symptoms (double vision, fatigue, neck weakness and trouble swallowing).  I am grateful that I was symptom-free for so long!
