Thank you for this presentation. As a person with Mg, it's good to see that research is progressing on several fronts.

Thank you for mentioning the thyroid or hypothyroidism is related to the MG weakness symptoms

Excellent information and presentation. I've always wondered why they hadn't targeted the mechanism that creates the antibody. Looks like they're well on their way to doing just that! Would be a Godsend to ween people from the current immuno-suppressive shotgun approach!

I don't believe here in the UK, that enough is invested in research or new treatments. I can no longer walk, I can only get about in a scooter or wheelchair.
