Myasthenia Gravis Support Group
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular disease leading to fluctuating muscle weakness and fatiguability. The hallmark of myasthenia gravis is muscle weakness that increases during periods of activity and improves after periods of rest. Although myasthenia gravis may affect any voluntary muscle, muscles that control eye and eyelid movement, facial expression, and...
Hi Everyone
I am just wondering, basically my main symptom right now is double vision by the end of the day. I am tapering (slowly) on my Predinisone, about two weeks ago I had almost no double vision, this seems to be coming back.
But admittedly I am back at work in full force, and quite a bit of stress again. So difficult to stay if it is the reduction in Prednisone or work stress etc that is causing the double vision.
What I was wondering is, is it possible to corect a symptom like double vision with Mestinon, i.e. if I pump up my 4 hourly dose (currently between 60 & 70mg) will this (or could this) improve the double vision?
Or is double vision more linked to the desease and as such needs to be treated with Prednisone or another imunosuppresent?
Regards
Christo

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I am having that problem right now. Working a lot and by the end of the day,I'm blurry eyed and seeing double. I feel, in my casr, it's from the drop in pred and I haven't been on imuran long enough to see the real effect. Mestinon doesn't help me with my vision or breathing problems. My neuro has suggested a round of IVIG, but after reading teenalives post, not sure if I want to, as I am prone to migrains.
wish I knew the answer!

Again, it doesn't seem to be my muscles tired but rather days when I work a lot and don't get a lot of sleep.
Hope this helps!
