Hi Kathy,

Welcome to the group! I too agree you were diagnosed very fast...good for you! It took me 2 years, which is still rather fast compared to many here. I have both ocular & general and had a thymectomy in Nov. 02. I take only mestinon, but may reluctantly starting pred soon...haven't decided yet. The twitching you mentioned is a common side effect of the mestinon. Mention this to your neuro the next time you see or speak with him. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Everyone here is very supportive and helpful. Take care.

Hugs,
Pat
