    I was diagnosed in 2012 but it took over a year to stabilize. My Neurologist suggested I have a Thymectomy in 2014 since I was doing better but not really completely stable. My Thymus was very enlarged so it was a good thing they removed it. I still had a few bouts that required IVIG treatments over the next 4-5 years but I finally stabilized just using Mestinon and I’m doing well now as long as I watch my fatigue symptoms and don’t over do it.
