Thanks everyone for you understanding, and yes it is great that this site exists.
I have a new question,
I'm currently taking Mestinon 60mg 3-4 a day, unless I'm experiencing difficulty breathing (this is what I ended up in ER with, very scary not being able to catch your breath). If the breathing is laboured I'll increase the Mestinon. Normally it has been working well for me, although when I do increase dosage I find that my facial muscles develop a twitch, but subsides after 30 minutes or so. Is this normal? Also while I have your attention, I find that the lasting effects of this medication ranges 3-5 hours, depending on how I exert myself, will it always be like this?, or will I become immune to the medication, or will I eventually take less? I guess this goes back to my original question, will it get worse?
