Default newly diagnosed

Hi group,
I just returned from a 2 day hospital stay, trying to figure out why I had sudden and progressive double vision and eye drooping. The current working diagnosis is ocular MG. The lab work is not back yet, CT and MRIs negative.

My question to the group is: from your personal experience, how soon could I expect 60 mg of mestinon, every 6 hours, to resolve my double vision. Or, how soon should I tell the neurologist, it isn't working? I have only taken 4 doses, but I still have double vision. This is very disturbing so I am wearing an eye patch. I am a working mom with 3 little kids so I really need to find out some more information.

Thanks for any advice.
