Hey Kendra,

I take only mestinon and it does help my ptosis and double vision as well as weakness. Other meds helped more, but I had to stop due to serious side effects and I opted not to take pred. I've had MG for going on 11 years and had a thymectomy in 02 and after 4 years was much better than I was. While we are all different in many ways with this disease, we are very much alike in many other. Heat is very bad for us and rest is key. When your eyes start to tire you will usually get symptoms. If you rest them and put a cool cloth on them, they may be better for awhile. MG is very unpredictable, but if you push it, it will win everytime. Hope this has helped. Take care.

Hugs,
Pat
