I just found out today that a teacher at a special school slapped an autistic child. I was very upset. It just makes me so scared for my 6 y/o son. He still really isn't talking that much on his own and it just scares me to think someone could hurt him and I would never know. It really upsets me that the school that it happened at is a special education school! The teacher had the nerve to blame it on the fact that she didn't have aides in the classroom, and that she has diabetes and the school system didn't help her. That's some BS! I'm just scared and worried. I don't want that happening to my son.
I know its been a long time since I updated my profile. I can say that I am finally dealing with MG. I haven't had as much weakness as I did in the beginning. I still have a little weakness in my legs, arms and fingers but I can deal with it. I had a thymectomy in february. I am currently on 30mg of prednisone a day. My doctor is trying to ween me off the prednisone and see how I do. We will see I guess.
I am so frustrated.My knee is so horrible. I feel like i am so wobbly, even with my medication. It seemed to be under control when I just took mestinon. now i take prednisone too and its like it's gotten worse. What am i taking prednisone for if it is not really helping me. How long does it eventually take before it can be a benefit to me?

Hello Charice, when did you start prednisone? How much? You know that there is a slow increase to going on it and slow going off it. It does take a few months. Be careful side effects are weight gain and depression. I haven't had the weight gaion because after I had our daughter is when the MG came on really bad, so this limited me to eating very slow. It actually worked out that I lost 35lbs and still loosing, but the depression kicks in once and a while just keep track of it. :)
