Yes, caffeine works a little like mestinon. I have a cup of coffee in the morning and I used to drink Coke/Pepsi in the afternoon.

Remission is possible, I’ve had one for about a year, but I believe work stress ended that. Many people with MG go into remission after a thymectomy. A good neurologist will prescribe a CT scan to look at the thymus gland.

If you get mestinon take it as directed. If some is good, then lots is better does not work. Too much can cause problems too.

BTW, there was a book out called something like You Don’t Look Sick. It was several stories from people that had diseases similar to MG. I think of of the stories was from a person who had MG. Jim
