Hi Eeyore,
I would recommend getting in touch with your neuro and say your symptoms are worsening/interfering with your everyday life. Be careful with Pred - I wouldn't recommend self medicating with it - I was hospitalised for 4 days when they first put me on it becuase it can cause major weakness before it improves MG. I was lucky and didn't experience the weakness side effect (although now I have Cushings as a result of my steriod use - I'm weaning off them now but the side effects aren't fading and man is my self-esteem taking a beating).

Anyways, be careful - and keep positive! I couldn't even get in and out of the bath a few months ago and now I'm walking long distances on my own. I've even started leaving my cane at home - Yippee!

All the best
~Kathy
