Hi all
Been looking at this forum for a few weeks and decided to join so I can post ..Diagnosed in mid Sept with MG .after spending a night in the hospital with what I thought was a stroke . Initial neurologist made an accurate diagnosis but when I asked him what MG was , he responded ..its an auto- immune disorder and if you want more info go to the internet . Huh !!!!!
He's not my neurologist anymore .
He did put me on Mestinon ...60 Mg /three times a day . and new neurologist upped it to four times a day .
My initial symptoms...speech difficulty ...problems chewing and swallowing .followed by right eye droop , fatigue and neck droop . No lower extremity problems .
After almost a month on the Mestinon , I've improved about 30 % as of this week . Still have speech and chewing problems and fatigue ...Mowed grass this week in 94 degree heat ( Florida ) and that was tough .
New neurologist recommended Prednisone or Cellcept but I deferred for the present as Mestinon makes my daily life , livable . I'll rethink it if my symptoms get worse ...
Lots of folks in here much worse than I am ... so I'll count my blessings .
Thanks for all the great information and encouragement that I see here
