I hope you will seek out a second opinion about the thyroid issues.

My endo said that some patients need to take a more natural form of thyroid medication and do better on Armour Thyroid or NatureThroid. A cardiologist I saw also said that her heart patients do better on those as well.

Also, some patients need to take the tablets twice a day, for they do run out at some point in the day (according to my endo).

Do you take Mestinon with food? Ask your neurologist about what you could do to offset the side effects of Mestinon. Some doctors start patients out with a lower dose to see if that helps alleviate any side effects (talk to your neuro before making changes, however!).

Give yourself some time to adapt to knowing that you have this disease! There's a lot to learn and it'll take some time.

I hope things are going well.
