The symptoms I described were some of many that I had. I also had trouble chewing, swallowing, closing my eyes completely(dry eyes), opening my eyes completely, talking, closing my mouth, moving my fingers, walking. My energy would only last a few hours a day and I spent the rest of the time laying in bed, sometimes I could barely roll over. It was terrible. I thought I was dying.

Lets see, my symptoms started with double vision only which progressed after about 1 week into other face related troubles, then after 2 or 3 weeks I had muscle weakness everywhere. I was diagnosed in about 1 1/2 months after these symptoms started.

The Mestinon has made everything so much better. Now all of these symptoms come and go but are not bad at all compared to without Mestinon.

I hope this helps.
