Hopefully, I’m making progress. Had a rough morning with a lot of weakness. After washing hair and putting on clothes I couldn’t get up out of chair. After resting about 20 minutes I was able to get up, but still felt weak. Still not seeing much progress with mestinon. Now taking 4 X day 90mg plus 1 @ bedtime 180mg time release. Hoping to find something that works.
Hang in there. Some days can be very frustrating and some less so. I have done well on mestinon but am now having increased slurring of speech. It used to be only at night in social situations but now it is happening during the day. I hope it subsides and am taking several days to do as little as possible. Rest whenever you need to.
