Before I was diagnosed with MG...my opthamologist prescribed me temporary prisms to wear. Then I was referred to my neurologist who diagnosed me with MG and started me on Mestinon.

i was also told to wear my prism until possibly the meds help my eyes....more of a wait and see attitude.

Is anyone else here wearing prisms or have worn prisms?

Did the Mestinon help your eyes and the double vision?

How did you know that the Mestinon is really helping? How did you feel? Was it an obvious feeling?

Right now I am taking mestinon 60mgs three times a day.

When I take my Mestinon, I don't notice and obvious feel great feeling. I notice that I don't feel exhausted, still tired....but not exhausted. And that lump in my throat feeling is gone.

But when the Mestinon wears off....boy can I tell. My throat feels clogged again, arms feel heavy and I feel exhausted!

I am just trying to see what is normal!

And just since I am here....I have noticed that everyone...family and co-workers.... seem to think that now that I am on meds....I should be doing fine. And that is annoying! If anything...when the meds wear off....I feel even WORSE! Plus wearing the prism is not exactly the greatest fashion statement!

Thanks so much for your help and just listening!
