Annie,
My doctor agrees with your statement. He told me that Mestinon prevents damage to the neuromuscular junction due to MG. That without Mestinon, MG symptoms usually, but not always, progress due to this damage. He stressed to me that it was important to find the right Mestinon dose that minimizes weakness. This was when I was first diagnosed with MG and I had forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder, I am going to look up more info about this.
Does anyone have other info about this? I would like to learn more about what Mestinon does.
