MemberYears ago, I was surprised to learn that my MG symptoms were gone and no medication was needed. At that time, the neurologist said there was no way to know if it would last a couple months or for the rest of my life. Still, my MG history would affect certain medical decisions/options, such as I can’t be an organ donor (disappointed) or use Botox (which I never wanted anyway). I initially said that I was asymptomatic, but several doctors told me that I was in remission. So, I switched to saying MG in remission. But, its no surprise that some doctors don’t agree to the terminology. My remission lasted for almost 10 years before my MG symptoms returned. I hope yours will be gone forever! Enjoy it and dance!
