Mmmmm, yeah it's all in your head. It's all in all of our heads. We're all mad as hatters

My neuro wanted to monitor after my thymectomy rather than put me on any medication. It was my oncologist who encouraged me to push for mestinon at a low dose to see what that does. It helped me a lot, I wouldn't have made it through radiation therapy without it.

The eye thing with the dryness is common in MG too; you're just having problems with a different set of muscles and your eye lid is not blinking completely.

While I'm not a doctor; I'd suggest asking for a prescription for mestinon and trying it to see if it helps.

Best of luck

Brian.
