MG

I’ll shorten the name of the disease because I can never spell it right.
The G is for “Gravis.” I’m having a little trouble swallowing today and lots of saliva lately.
In February I had a crisis and I’m really fearful of that happening again - six days in ICU.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to when it is time to see a doctor regarding an operation (thymectomy)?
Thank you.
