Dear JulieJayne,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, that was what I thought, that the understanding was that MG didn't cause pain, but yes, it seems logical to me that the overworked muscles would get sore. This seems to be the sort of thing I am experiencing. I have wished I could take Aleve, because I think it would help. Due to other health issues, I can't take aspirin, Motrin, Tylenol, Aleve, or any sort of pain medication. I'm trying to figure out what else to do. I think heat might feel good, but would make the muscles weaker and harder to use. I've been doing some stretching, and I've massaged some of the muscles myself, but I'm not sure how much that is helping. I keep trying, though.

I don't think I'd take the chance of changing the Mestinon dose, tempting as that is sometimes! But I have sometimes wondered if that would help. I'd also run out of the prescription prematurely.

Best wishes to you, and thank again for your reply.

Take care,
Erin
