Yeah we have enough issues with everything else in life! I always say you could take away alcohol or almost anything else but you take away my chocolate (sugar in general) and someone may die! Maybe it's life's way of being kind to me that I have MG instead of Diabetes!

That is a good thing, Drakeford!

We wouldn't want you to go to glory...

Yes, I am happy to say that my sex drive has been totally unaffected by MG. Maybe slightly increased? I have read that a side effect of mestinon and perhaps other drugs is erectile dysfunction though. Over the last couple years, I have heard from one person in a forum(not here) that this presented an issue for them.

Peace,
