    I understand the thymus isn't super useful for an adult... so why is thymectomy usually only performed for GENERAL (not ocular only -- InterNuclear Ophthalmoparesis / Ophthalmoplegia , ptosis and diplopia ) MG, and only if there is hyperplasia or abnormal growth?
    Regarding remission, if long-term treatment can halt/reverse the progression in < 25%... if left untreated, would the disease most likely to spread from the eyes to the rest of the body (ex. bulbar)?
    Does Thyroid-Eye-Disease have any role in Ocular MG?
    I've seen some great videos by neurologists that specialize in MG (Michael Hehi , Ali Hamedan , Devin D. Mackay , Dr. Maria Lina Renales ,etc), but they aren't local.. anyone know of a specialist that can do a remote consultation?

    My daughter got diagnosed with Ocular MG when she was 14 years old. She had severe double vision and lost control of her eye movement. It was a long road before we had a full diagnoses. Untimely we she had a Thymectomy when she was 16 and she is 18 now and takes no medication. I haven't heard a lot about the Thymectomy.

      I got it when i was her age and now i am 22 years old. For a month now i feel severe double vision too and almost losing control my left eye i take medications but still no progress and my doctor going to give me Rituximab then ill see if that helps. I just wanna ask did your daughter recover her eye ? I hope , its a difficult disease but keep her mental up it makes different tbh .

    He had a surgery similar to open heart surgery when he was first diagnosed,....
    so I do believe they had removed his thymus gland....

    Right before he passed away he sent me a message about how he would get into the tub after turning his water heater up to almost 150 now I see that he doesn't affect mg very well he says that she bought him a heating blanket for his bed and apparently he had had him thinking that heat would be good for it I guess...

    Look into MG remission with large doses of Vitamin D.
