I had my first 4 weekly infusions in Aug/ Sept and I’m in the last few days of my 4 week break. I begin infusions again next week. So far I can see minimal improvement.

I think everyone is different. I saw improvements within within 3 days. A miracle for me. Hang in there.

Yes! I’m on my second cycle now. It has been amazing for me. I do still have problems, it’s not a cure for sure, but it has been just really good. After the first infusion, I felt so much better!

It's great that you're sticking with the treatment — patience with Vyvgart can really pay off. Some people notice meaningful improvement within one week after completing a full four-week cycle, but for others, benefits build gradually over multiple cycles.

It's great that you're sticking with the treatment — patience with Vyvgart can really pay off. Some people notice meaningful improvement within one week after completing a full four-week cycle, but for others, benefits build gradually over multiple cycles.

Minimal improvement after the first cycle isn't unusual, so heading into your second round is a positive step. MGteam members share some helpful real-world tips that might resonate with where you are right now:

- Talk to your neurologist if symptoms return or feel incomplete between cycles — one MGteam member had their cycle adjusted from a 50-day schedule to a two weeks on, two weeks off approach when they started declining during the break
- Track your symptoms closely — even small changes can help your doctor fine-tune your treatment plan
- Watch for infections — Vyvgart can increase infection risk, which could affect how well you're responding

The clinical data shows around 68% of people had meaningful improvement during their first cycle, but "meaningful" was defined as sustained improvement over at least four weeks. So some people are simply slower responders.

Bringing your observations to your neurologist before starting next week's infusions is a really good idea — they may have options to adjust your plan.
