Thanks Celeste. The first pill had a calming effect, not the drowsiness I expected. Just driving for 10 to 12 hours in of city traffic winds one up, add the Prednisone and is even more pronounced. I can see why the athletes like it.

Another MG Forum member sent me the publication Myasthenia Gravis: A Manual for the Health Care Provider. I learned a lot from it already. It is published by Myasthenia Gravis Founaton of America. One thing I learned is that high doses of Prednisne are for only a relatively short period of time. After that, providing it did its job, you move to a small maintenance dose. Of course, as you well know, everybody reacts differently to treatment.

I will post these MGFA recommendations in a its own thread. There was also remarkable information on Mestinon, something we all should know.

Thanks again,
