Maureen,

I am so sorry to read that you are experiencing new symptoms. I do not have slurred speech, so I cannot speak to that, but have you identified a MG specialist? I think that this will help you with all of your MG related problems.

Good luck.

Hope

I've been here, too! With each of your postings, I think "yup, I remember that one!" I really think you need more than mestinon. Make sure you're documenting all these symptoms to take to your neuro so he or she can be aware of what's going on and give you more help. You can have a much better quality of life than this. :)

Agreed! I have been there as well and when I read your posts about neck weakness increasing and slurring I want you to know that these symptoms deserve to be addressed soon. These are not everyday symptoms for me... they are symptoms that arise when things are going south. Please seek medical assistance and treatment soon! Love, Becca
