I have read some of the issues with mixing the pred. with the mestinon and that is a good question but no I am not. You all seem very sincere in your comments and questions so I will give you a quick summery of where I am at with my health situation.

When I was in the 7th grade I played football. I would break out in a very bad rash when I would sweat and it itched like poison oak but would go away after a shower. I assumed grass allergy but after he made me see an allergist I learned that I had Cholinergic urticaria. This carried over into my adult life and progressed at times making my decision to become a Computer Technician a tactical one as computers need to be temperature regulated. Well I excelled in that career and 25 years later after eating a whole lot of fast food and donuts sitting on my butt all day I reached a weight of 400 lbs.

I developed re-curing abscesses around my groin area and due to embarrassment of going into the ER I read up on how to lance and care for them myself. After years of this I finally had to go see a doctor because of the increased level of pain and the severity of golf ball size abscesses. My doctor diagnosed me with severe Hidradenitis suppurativa and prescribed me Oxycodone for the pain. For obvious reasons I was also diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.

Now in painting this picture I would like you to know although I have struggled with Severe Itching Rash and Severe Pain in my groin I have managed to lose over 100 pounds working out and using the treadmill with diet changes of course. (little pat on the back there)...

So here we are now and you can imagine my joy when I just start feeling SOOOoooo weak All the time and can't explain why I am waking up in the morning with my whole body numb feeling like I just came off a 20 mile run. and when My right eye starts drooping and I can't hold it open I am thinking Stroke. Well you all know the story after that so please give me a little slack if I tend to seem a little bitter at tines. I may be down but don't count me out! I WILL WIN THIS TOO!

So in Summary suev, I am on diabetes meds, hydroxazine, oxycodone 30mg x4 a day and now Mestinon.
