Frown My meds not working!!!

I was diagnosed with MG on the 4th of July. I started having a hard time (sometimes impossible) keeping my eyes open and when I could, everything was blurry or double vision. I am currently taking 75 mg of mestinon every 4hours . I'm still struggling with my eyes about 5 hours of the day. I have to get up at night to take it or I can't see in the morning. I haven't been able to work and I feel like my five year old son is being neglected . I called the doc and he said he'd like to up my dose of mestinon but can't because I'm already having severe stomach cramps. He said we may have to change meds but when I've looked up some of the others the side effects seem horrible!!! I don't know what to do! Will my life ever be normal again??? Does anyone have any suggestions on the med. or take something besides mestinon that hasn't turned them into a hairy, moody, monster???
