I am one of those people and am going on 10 years of MG hell.

A trial of mestinon wouldn't hurt. However, be aware that it doesn't always work too well for double vision. There are no long term adverse effects from a short trial of mestinon and you'll know quickly if it works or not.

As for the nutritionist, etc. Go for it--to improve your overall health. However, don't expect it to change the MG symptoms. If it were that easy, I'd have been cured years ago. I've tried everything from acupuncture to vegetarianism and here I sit, with double vision.... (on a ton of regular meds, too.)

Good luck,

Missy
Hi Missy,
If you don't mind me asking how old are you? Do you work? If so how do you work with double vision. I'm home right now but eventually have to go back to work.
