Thymectomy Story Part 2

Ғылым және технология

I had the Thymectomy done on February 12th,2016
It was really hard at times, I burst out in tears as I was being wheeled into surgery. I chose to do the Thymectomy because I felt that I wasn't getting better, only worse.
Shortness of breath when walking at times, limb & leg weakness, double vision, eyelid droopiness, etc this was just the best decision for me and it was time.....

    I am 19 and I have just been diagnosed with MG. You are so strong and I hope this procedure runs your MG into the trash ASAP! Thanks for sharing your experience (not that many videos about thymectomies on here). Much love, God bless you. xoxo

    Hi Lauren, Happy New Year. Thank you very much for sharing your experience. May I ask you how you are doing with the symptoms. I have to go for the surgery in March this year. I would like to know if that is going to help my condition. Please let me know.

    tanmaya18 I will make a F/U video soon; I don’t have any symptoms of MG anymore, nor do I take any medication to control weakness related symptoms of MG. I’ve found that the biggest help with MG came from changes in my diet: I longer eat any type of meat, dairy, eggs, highly processed foods, I’m basically vegan and that has been the #1 staple in controlling this disease. I no longer see a Neurologist, no more weekly infusions, no more chemotherapy treatments, please consider a vegan lifestyle diet before you have this surgery to see if that helps first. God bless you!!!?

    Lauren Jones thank you for sharing this input. I will try your diet tips and eat vegan. My surgery is scheduled in March so I have some time now to try it out. I will let you know if that helps.

    tanmaya18 If I knew then what I know now about the plant-based diet, I would’ve postponed the Thymectomy... please do let me know if it helps your symptoms because I’ve heard from other MGer’s that this works, not just for myself.
