Default Scary new symptom

Hi all,

So it's been a while since my last post, as I have been trying to work through this disease with my current Neuro.

Last Sunday I pushed myself to far I think, I have been feeling strong the last two weeks and thought that the Pred was finaly kicking in after 9 months so I went for a short bike ride (Something I miss dearly since being diagnosed) about a year ago. I began to experience weakness and had to stop and head home. Later on I began to lose strength and it felt like someone was sitting on my chest. All this I have experienced before and I was able to manage with Mestinon.

The scary thing is is that both Sunday and Monday night I was awoken by chocking on my saliva and it was all over my face and pillow as if I wasn't swallowing it. I have had issues swallowing my pills at night before but nothing like this, the more I think about it, the more I'm scaring myself.

Has any one experienced this before I have been taking half a Timespan before bed. Or is this something I may need more acute treatment for. I was really weak yesterday (as if I had just run a marathon, but not as sweaty ) today I feel stronger and think that most of the weakness is over.

Anyways do you guys experience weakness directly after activity or do you experience a prolonged recovery with severe weakness 6-24 hours after activity?

Thanks again!
