Hey Dana,

Welcome to the group! I'm sorry to hear you Dad has gone through so much, but it's wonderful he was diagnosed so quickly. The neuro hospital sounds great. I too had plasmapheresis, but only before my thymectomy and it worked well. Because of problems with other meds, I only take mestinon since 01. I can take 60 mg every 4 hours, 3 hrs. if I need it. I adjust my dosage to how I am feeling and what my symptoms are. Sometimes I have terrible side effects and if it works, I'll just rest. Does your Dad have any other symptoms? Not that the breathing issues aren't enough! Sounds like between you and his doctors, he is in excellent hands. Glad you found us and please ask anything at all. We are a very friendly supportive bunch here.

Hugs,
Pat
