    I have GMG, age 76 diagnosed at 64. Imuran made me intolerably sick in about 10 days. I actually checked myself into the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack,  my arrhythmia was so intense.  Nope, just the Imuran. Quit that and within 24 hours just fine. Cellcept now for five years without any side effects. Down to .5 mg prednisone plus 240mg mestinon and semimonthly Soliris. Doing very well.

    The takeaway? With MG Everybody’s different.
