MemberI’m 53 yo male, will be having surgery this spring. Scan showed nothing “abnormal” with thymus but neurologist feels strongly that removal at my age should be standard, regardless if “normal”; she said “you have something there and we’re getting it out!”. 18-20 months since first symptoms (immediately after Covid vaccine). My symptoms are voice and swallowing, much better but still noticeable on standard meds and IVIG. Occasional, and significant breathing issues. Double vision went away on meds and hasn’t returned.
I can share my experience as it happens if anyone interested.
