I'm curious to know if the benefits outweigh the potential side effects for you.

I've been diagnosed with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) and recently started using Vyvgart Hytrulo. It seems to be helping with muscle weakness, but I have some concerns about the side effects, particularly the urgent ones. I’ve read that allergic reactions, infections, and abnormal sensations can occur, but I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced these and what their outcomes were. I'm also curious about how others handle the potential for infusion reactions. Have any of you had any serious issues or found ways to mitigate the risks? Also, the medication needs to be administered as a shot under the skin by a healthcare professional, which can be inconvenient. I would appreciate some advice on managing this aspect of treatment.
