  hi everyone. Have ocular MG, had significantly troubling symptoms in February 2018 (double vision, paralyzed eye), was on 40 mg prednisone for 2 months, gradually tapered down over the next 4 months to 15 mg every other day but unfortunately the double vision came back. Not nearly as bad as it was in February but still very bothersome and tough to focus later in the day. Doctor told me to get back on 10mg of prednisone everyday, and if symptoms don’t resolve in a few days 10 one day and 15...

  Hi all -Wanted to post and see if anyone can relate/share experiences?I was diagnosed with ocular MG Feb of 2015 and have had 4 flare ups since. Prednisone 20-40mg over a couple weeks usually does the trick to treat a flare up. Mestinon used to work in the early days, but it does nothing for me anymore. Main symptoms for me are ptosis and double vision. My most recent flare up started Feb 7, waking up with severe double vision. Ton of stress in Jan, so I know why the flare up came through....
