I will be seeing my neurologist on February 3rd and will speak to him about my MG drug choices. I used the new schedule Thursday, and I think I had good results. I wont know about any improvement on sleep for one or two days. Although I started the day with labored speech, which got worse a few hours into my taxi-driving shift, by 10:00 p.m. my symptoms were noticeably less sever. By the end of the shift at 3:00 a.m. I was very strong. This was the first time since I was diagnose in November 2013 that I was stronger at the end of the shift than I was at the beginning. I wonder if it is too early to declare that I am cured.
Thanks to all for the valuable information above.
