Smirk Thank God for you all!

Thank you very much for the information. My Neuro advised me to go on prednizone just this past Thursday. He kept advising me that my Mestinon is not lasting very long, I'm taking 11/2 that only last for about 3 hrs or less. So, he said I am better off taking prednizone on top of that. I had my doubts. So I told him, I'll think about it. Over the weekend, I was experimenting with my mestinon and went up to 2 every 4 hrs. It worked, aside from a little bit of stomach cramp. I was so happy, I called him and told him of the result. He said that he still recommends the pred as taking too much Mestinon is toxic. He said that I have to stay in the hospital for 3 days to be monitored. When I told him that I can't just take off work just like that, he offered to do it as outpatient. I'm supposed to call him this Friday to see how the 2 tablets are working. I'm pretty sure, he will again suggest the prednizone. After reading what you guys went through. I know what I am going to tell him. I am forever grateful to you all!

Does anybody have positive experience on herbal meds or acupuncture treatment?
