Close Myasthenia Gravis

I am 23 years old and was diagnose with MG January 2009. Before that, I played college soccer and was in top physical condition. I currently am a police officer. When I was diagnosed with MG, I was completey shocked. It came out of nowhere and almost seemed unreal. I went from great physical condition to not even being able to run without feeling like my legs were going to give out on me. Since being diagnosed with it, I am on Prednisone and Mestinon.

Treatments

Mestinon Too Soon to Tell

I began taking half a tablet three times a day. After two weeks, it did not seem to help much so I started taking a full tablet three times a day. Seemed to make me just as weak as I was before, so now im taking half a tablet five times a day. Hopefully something will give.
