Oh God, tell me about it! I go to the doctor like every other day with either major, horrid sinus pressure, heart issues, infections, blah blah, so I know that he's just going to minimize the stomach issues...This is why I feel forced to research everything on the internet-because of the endless array of problems, and the lack of attempting to put the pieces together on the part of my 'rushed' doctor ('rushed' because he's consistently 3-4 hours late, and walks into a room filled with patients like sardines in a can and still wants to leave on time )...

Maybe I will try some apple cyder vinegar with my meals for now and see if that helps...I'm also going to ask my neuro. about the liquid mestinon...If it does turn out to be a lack of absorption, maybe I can reduce my prednisone or even stop taking it altogether, since the mestinon will be working better...

I think that I remember you mentioning before that you used to sometimes put a mestinon tablet under your tongue for faster absorption...Did you find that it took forever to 'disintegrate'? I have tried this many times, but end up swallowing it just because it takes so long to breakdown...
