He's on 60mg three times a day, just as a trial. His neuro doesn't believe in doing Tensilon, so the mestinon was also for diagnostic purposes. From what I've read, prednisone can interfere with mestinon working.

He wasn't fatigued when his speech was slurring, the first time it was fairly early in the day. The second time was on a business trip, I can't speak to his fatigue levels then, but I don't think he got enough sleep the entire trip.
