Try to slow down and take it easy and notice how you feel a half hour, 2 hr and 4 hours after mestinon to see what kind of improvement you have

Kathie,
Thank you for the perspective, I didn't have one before now. Unfortunately, I am awaiting Social Security and have zero income. Rent is traded for work on the farm. I'm guessing that homelessness won't improve my MG symptoms much...but repairing a fence in the south forty isn't doing much for it either.
I'm sure I'm overdoing it, especially after reading your post (which I am grateful for), but not sure how much more I can slow down and still keep a roof over my head. I'm certain of one thing though - I'm not the only one who has been in this situation though, so we'll muddle through the best we can.
