Confused Update to my update

Taking just half a tablet is working great for me. Let me know how it goes!

BTW, when I took the whole timespan, my entire face, including my tongue, was twitching.

Well, here is an update to my update. Yesterday morning, my right leg felt like it was made of cement. My balance and coordination was wonky and my speech was garbled off and on all day.
Obviously my current, perfect, dosage is no longer working for me.
This morning I upped my morning dosage of mestinon to a full tablet (from 1/2
Tablet). I think I'll hold my afternoon dosage of mestinon to 1/2 tablet. In addition, I'll continue with 1/2 timespan before bedtime,
I'm very lucky that my neuro gave me the 'go ahead' to increase my dosage if necessary.
I guess one must not become complacent with this disease, for it seems it can change from day to day.
I'm considering applying for a disabled placard - are there any other MGer's out there that have placards? It's true that I won't always need one, but on those days that walking is difficult, a placard would be handy.
I welcome all imput. I feel like I'm flying blind most of the time
