I am a girl from Sora (Italy), my name is ANNA BALDASSARRA, I am 20 years
old and I have just been told a few days ago that I am affected by
MYASTHENIA GRAVIS.
It is a rare disease; 6 months ago I began to have the diplopia (double
vision), now the muscles of my throat are blocked and my arms are weak.
I am under cure at the Polyclinic in Rome "Umberto I" in the Neurology ward;
the cortisone cure that blocks the advance of the disease has not given any
positive results, therefore the doctors have decided to operate me in order
to remove the THYMUS; I wonder if it will help.
I would like to know if a specialized center for this kind of disease
exists and if there are people that have been cured.
I thank you very much, Anna
