- When I first started taking prednisone last year, I noticed that I had a "scalloped" tongue, where you could see that it was pushing up against the teeth in my mouth by the marks on the side. It may just have been because I was examining my tongue...
- I've been on prednisone for about a year, and they want to put me on Imuran. I have a question, though - every now and then I'll get an abscess (this was before prednisone), I live in a big city full of moldy buildings, come in contact with lots of...
- When I first started getting ptosis I had heard "crutch glasses" named as an aid in getting your eyelids back up. My ptosis wasn't that bad back then but now it's pretty bad. I've seen pictures of these "crutch glasses" and they look a little...
- Some people may remember me from last year or so...I had ocular MG and my symptoms are still ocular, which is a good sign, I guess. They actually responded very well to the prednisone once I was on it...I had a return of a little bit of diplopia...
- I'd like to post this for the newly-diagnosed who might be timid about taking prednisone. I've been on 30mg for about two weeks now and feel great. I was especially afraid of the psychological effects because I've had problems with anxiety in the...
- I've heard this somewhere. I'm going to have an appointment with the neurologist who was treating my insomnia years ago for possibly a new sleep study to adjust my CPAP, and I might ask her about this. But if anybody knows anything specific let me...
- I was in a cab and it stopped short. I had my seatbelt on. But my neck us sore from the back. Looking for any urgent advice that you have, like I heard I'm not supposed to have muscle relaxants. As you might know I only have ocular symptoms now....
- I've learned a lot from people here about other things that I've been going through - double vision, taking mestinon - that I thought I'd seek advice again. They've put me on 30mg of prednisone, which doesn't seem like a lot, but they said they...
- When my double vision got to the point where I couldn't read with two eyes, I started closing one eye or wearing a patch. Now I notice that when I open both eyes, my double vision is worse, but then gets significantly better if I leave my eyes open...
- I've had a left eye ptosis for two months now, and it started getting bad three weeks ago. I think the other one is going now...or I may just be tired. My neuro-opthamologist put me on Mestinon 120mg 3x (though they said I could do it five times)...
- (I'll state here that I don't like to write the way that some teenagers do when they send text messages and instant messages; it's just that Daily Strength only allows so much space for the topic.)We've been having a discussion about what we think...
- I don't think I'll find the cause, but I did notice that when I got my double vision, I was just finishing up a course of antibiotics for an abscess, and it came not long after a somewhat surprising life event that irritated me. Maybe we can find...
- I notice that little bits of food kind of stay in my throat and up near my nasal cavity. I'm a bit obsessive (I'm a lot obsessive) so it might be that this always happened and I never noticed it, but what should I watch out for? Is there a guide...
- As I'd said a couple days ago I just got diagnosed. I've got an appointment on Thursday to start treatment but I've been so anxious with all this stuff hitting me at once. Actually my symptoms are not as bad as the anxiety! I'm going to try some...
- I've struggled with anxiety throughout my life and had panic attacks/depersonalization in the past, as well as depression. However, I've had good success with cognitive-behavioral techniques when I've used them, things like disputing irrational...
