New on LEMS forum page!
Hey all!
I know many of you have been asking about topics regarding LEMS and anesthesia and medications to avoid!
We had these topics in the past but they were somewhat hard to find. I was able to ask Bionews to allow us to add a “featured topics” section on the main forum page! Both topics have been added to this column so you can easily access them. I hope this helps!
You can also find them here:
https://lamberteatonnews.com/forums/forums/topic/lems-and-anesthesia/
https://lamberteatonnews.com/forums/forums/topic/medications-to-avoid-in-lems-and-myasthenia/
Please let me know if you would like other topics added to that column.
Are there any topics regarding LEMS, chronic illness you would like for @pricewool and I to post about?
Have a good weekend! 🙂

Im curious too. I have had back injection pain under anesthesia for several years. I have an appointment with pain clinic. I have had horrible pain in my lower back. I know that there can be lower back and hip pain being i take Firdapst but i think it is beyond that being i had back pain for several years prior. It may have aggrevated it. I need something done so i want to try it again but wont if the anesthesia this article talks about would be used. Has anyone else had steroid injections in their back while being treated for LEMS?

Hey @marym
Usually just local anesthesia is used for a back/hip injection, so this shouldn’t affect your LEMS. The anesthesia that can cause problems with LEMS is a general anesthetic (which requires you to be intubated/have a breathing tube).
I had three joint injections in my shoulder about 3 years ago with no issues whatsoever.
