Q : 1 01/24/2009

My current issue is of course with MG, and if there's anything further that I can do to reduce symptoms or even eradicate it. Is there an operation that might fix the MG for me? Or am I wasting time and money trying to fix this? There is no medicine or surgery that can "fix" this disease. MG management is directed at limiting symptoms and improving quality of life. Physical stress, emotional stress, colds and flus, and hot weather can worsen MG symptoms. When other medical conditions worsen or are not optimally treated, MG symptoms can worsen.
