  Caren B. asked:

  My Dr. is looking at a dx for MG, I have Hashi's and RA. Where can I get a comprehensive list or idea about sxs? I have had loss of voice problems since I was 16, I also choke often for no apparent reason. Anyone w/experience w/these sxs would be great to hear from. Caren Caren Zwain Brodt or Prayers for Pets

  Sandra M. asked:

  Hi guys! Anyone know of a good medication for ANXIETY/depression. I'm worried of taking one that might relax the muscles too much. Any suggestions? I was thinking of pristiq or zoloft or paxil. Thanks. ;)

  

  Myasthenia G. replied:

  Sandra, our list "Medications to use with caution in MG" can provide some guidance and is on our website, mgakc.org under "Living with MG", Treatments and Medications. Best to show this to your PCP before getting a prescription.

  Stacia F. asked:

  Looking for a Neurologist in Wichita that works with this... my father was just diagnosed with this... and the dr is more concerned with the sleeping than with the mass in the chest.... looking for suggestions.
