How is the prednisone working for you?
Ttys!

Thanks Nick,
I am only in my first month after diagnosis so I believe it is too early to know.
First outpatient appointment with consultant is 7th dec.
thanks to you guys I now have my breathing under control,not identified as mg by the consultant.
He had referred me to cardio for that ,not being his area.
I had presented with heavy chest pressure at A&E.
They did ECG which was ok but my oxygen level was low .
My own General Practitioner pretty already had confirmed mg by blood tests.
When they heard this they kept me in until I saw the medical consultant on Monday.
He carried out physical tests for mg at the bedside and referred me to neuro.
When I saw neuro consultant next day he started me on mestinon and first level 10mg prednisone plus all the other meds listed on my personal posting which I am using as a log of my disorder.
Thanks once again for your welcome.
