Anyways I elected to change my diet and see if it helped, and it did, some people are helped with digestive enzymes so that they can make more acetacholine. (sp)
Hi Turner, can you tell me more about how did you change your diet? What do you eat more, and is that to increase the Acytacholine enzyme?

I've just had 1 eye Ptosis last week and seeing a specialist who's prescribed me with Mestinon 60mg. CT scan shows normal thymus. Blood test won't be out for another week. Specialist started me on half tablets of the Mestinon 60mg, but it didn't work at all (4 days) so yesterday I saw him again and he told me to increase to full tablet from last night onwards. I've since had 2 tablets (1 last night, 1 this morning), but I do not notice any effect at all. I'm starting to wonder if perhaps I might have other problems or maybe I might just have the same problem as you which is that my body is not making enough acetacholine enzyme? Appreciate your help me, feeling so helpless.
