It sounds like you had a great response to prednisone, with minimal bad side effects, considering the dosage. Most find, however, that symptoms begin to return with a lowered dosage, especially if no other immune suppressing drug is added into the mix. You may want to discuss that with your doctor.

Unfortunately, even with treatment, you will likely never be 100% again. Only a teeny fraction ever achieve that. I know of one person, personally, and she had MG as a child and it went away in her late teens and has never returned. You will need to learn how to adapt to the day to day changes while working to find the right combination of drugs and adaptations to make your life as fulfilling as it can be. Remember, this takes time, and trial and error. There is no magic formula.

Good luck!
