Default Ocular MG

ctulin,
Thanks for the information. I am waiting on the doctor's call now. He checks with me every two weeks to adjust the medicine. So far with me it is double vision and one eye lid is hard to keep open and the eye lids changed sides last week...
Like your motor, looks like maybe a 1970 +- English bike. I rode Trumphs for many years. Also like gardening.

Mestinon helped me within the first 15 minutes of taking 1/4 of a tablet. I don't know if I am just lucky, but the neurologist thought that the positive response was pretty strong evidence that I had MG.
I am still in the learning phase of this problem as I am sure you are. There is a lot of variability between sufferers of MG and my own symptoms have varied over time. There are a lot of knowledgable people on this site who have a lot of experience. There is also a list of helpful links.
