Annie had great advice and is in line with what all of my docs think. The prednisone issue is not to be dismissed. Two new eye lenses (cataracts), a new knee joint (deteriorated cartilage), over two inches loss in height (broken vertebrae), numerous blood clots (PEs) massive weight gain all proved that to me. That said, I also think it saved my sorry body. I am pieced together now and in remission and look "normal" (whatever that is).

When I was heavily dependent upon Mestinon, I had to set a timer to remind me to take a dose, so I didn't get to the point where I knew I needed a dose. That worked well for work when my energy expenditure was relatively constant. Sometimes I adjusted according to demands (with my docs approval, since he knew I understood my body and knew medicine).
