Smile Mestinon Disability & Antibiotics

Kendra,

There may be other doctors here that know MG but my understanding is that my doctor is very good with MG. He diagnosed me quickly which I appreciate more than I can express and has been helpful overall. I hesitate to find another doctor but if I decide to apply for disability I will consider it. My doctor only needs to report the truth about me if it is needed and I think he will do that if I ask.

I am glad you are off the antibiotic, that should help. For me antibiotics make me feel sickly for about 1 year after - I have to eat lots of yogurt and probiotics to get my body functioning correctly again so I don't get yeast infections. Luckily I haven't needed antibiotics for at about 6 years.

Twitching is a side effect from Mestinon, but for me I have found that it means I have to take less Mestinon for a few days.

I hope you are feeling well.
