Other than that, how are you?

Big hugs!

Erin, thanks for your encouragement. I've only been on this board for a short time, but I am so honored to know you and your wonderful way of looking at life.

I've been on Pred and Mestinon for a little over a week now. My eye and eyelid are just about 100%. No other symptoms at this point. I'd really like to reduce the Pred so might call the neuro about that.

Have a great night!
