Hi Alissa,

all this must seem very new and confusing, I remeber back to 2002 when I was diagnosed, it was a very stressing time.
It is a long time to see your Dr, is he a specialist ie neurologist? He may suggest other drugs, depending on how you are going.
I read in one of your other posts that the mestinon isn't agreeing with you, not surprising, it doesn't agree with me either. Do you take it with food, this somewhat reduces some of the side effects.
One thing you have to remember is that MG affects everyone very differently, keeping this in mind,I am so much better that I was nearly 8 years ago, but not back to normal, but am thankful for how I've progressed.
Don't apologise for questions, its a great way to find things out, especially here!!
you take care and ask as many questions as you need, no matter how small they seem
take care
