What a thoughtful question — it's clear how much care goes into managing your husband's health, especially after such a long journey with MG.

The magnesium content in hydrogenated water is worth paying close attention to. While 80mg may seem modest, magnesium can interfere with the nerve-to-muscle signaling process that MG already disrupts. The biggest known risk is with IV magnesium, but oral magnesium supplements still warrant caution for anyone with MG.

The key concern is that magnesium can block the neuromuscular junction — the very spot MG already targets — potentially worsening muscle weakness or, in more serious cases, triggering a myasthenic crisis. Since your husband's MG has been in remission for 15 years, his neurologist would be the best person to assess whether 80mg of magnesium daily poses any real risk for him specifically.

A few things worth discussing with his care team:

- Whether his current remission status changes his sensitivity to magnesium
- Whether the 80mg dose in hydrogenated water is considered a supplement-level amount or closer to food-level amounts
- Alternative, MG-safe approaches to managing cholesterol that won't risk disrupting his remission

It's always worth having that conversation before introducing anything new, even something that seems natural or low-risk.
