MYASTHENIA GRAVIS - Help request

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
