Thanks, Lizzie. I know this is the beginning of a long journey. Some days I find that easier to face than others. I know that I am very fortunate, though, in that my symptoms are comparatively mild, and best of all--I am so grateful for this--the Mestinon doesn't seem to bother my stomach. I don't take that for granted.

I would love to find a doctor who specializes in MG! I wrote to the MG Association, and they didn't know of any in my area (Rhode Island). They suggested I write to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, which lists MG as one of its "covered diseases." So I'll do that.
