Thanks for your reply. I am doing so well that I am afraid to take a chance and mess things up.

I asked my neurologist that question because I have an appointment coming up and she said that typically it is not an issue. As I'm sure you realize with this disease everyone's reactions are different.

While the search results don't directly address experiences with lidocaine or novocaine, it's important to note that people with MG may have special considerations during medical procedures. Before any dental work, it's crucial to inform your dentist about your MG diagnosis and discuss any concerns about local anesthetics.

While the search results don't directly address experiences with lidocaine or novocaine, it's important to note that people with MG may have special considerations during medical procedures. Before any dental work, it's crucial to inform your dentist about your MG diagnosis and discuss any concerns about local anesthetics.

Since MG affects muscle function and nerve transmission at the neuromuscular junction, medications that affect these systems should be carefully monitored. It's recommended to consult with both your neurologist and dentist before dental procedures to ensure proper coordination of care. If you experience any unusual symptoms during or after dental procedures, such as increased muscle weakness, breathing difficulties, or excessive salivation, alert your healthcare provider immediately. These could be signs that require immediate medical attention.
