Myasthenia Gravis And Agent Orange

[zoe]

hello to all

i was just diagnosed with myasthenia gravis and would like to know if there is a valid relationship to agent orange.

i also have ischemic heart disease and have had a double bypass done by the va.

i also have prostate cancer and the surgery was postponed untill they get the myasthenia gravis under control, because it is severely effecting my breathing.

any feedback would be greatly appreciated. if i do not get back to you right off, it is because i will be admitted to the boston va on monday to get my breathing regulated.

thanks to all
