Ive noticed ,this time, that more mestinon is not really helping....still relying on my cane for balance with weak legs. Is this because its been so many yrs and Im immune to the med? Or have I just been fortunate all these yrs and I should expect to always have trouble?
do you take any other drugs other than mg drugs.
a friend's father had a high colesterol level and was given a statin resulting in weakness in his legs and trembiln in his hands .
They started to look at him for parkinson's before they rea;ised it was the statin giving the problem.
