Thumbs up 60 flippin mgs? What on earth?

I wonder if that is the norm.....my neuro started me @ 10 mgs cuz' he said that I was too weak to take any more @ that time, however it was doubled when I was in the ICU - that way they could monitor me....Apparently mestinon and Prednisone can have some pretty awful affects when they are mixed!!!


Yeah, I enjoy my t-shirts!

How do you feel @ 40 mgs every other day? I'd love to be able to go to every other day - sadly, it's not to be for a while!!!

What are your symptoms? You've never had a period of remission? How do you handle that? Your family?

Happy holidays!

He was a bit upset that I'm still symptomatic even on all my medications, but I've never been asymptomatic since my diagnosis! Things are good though - still enjoying my job and busy getting ready for the holidays. I still haven't finished my Christmas cards and they were supposed to be mailed two weeks ago! Ah well - they'll get there for the new year.

Hope everyone is keeping well! Take care of yourselves at this busy and potentially stressful time.
