You're basically flooding your neuromuscular junction with too much acetylcholine. I'm surprised you haven't had a cholinergic crisis by now.

I had 2 crises episodes in 2 months. Hospital Nuro put me on 1-1/2 or 2-60 mg Mestinon every 2 hours fron 6 in the morning until 6 at night. Then 1 Timespan at 9 pm. Also Predisone 20 mg and Imuran 100 mg. So far ok. Hoping for the best.
