I agree with you. As long as Mestinon keeps my symptoms at a level I can live with, I don't want to risk all those awful side effects from stronger drugs even with a chance of remission.
I am so thankful I am responding to the Mestinon, even though I still have lots of MG symptoms. At least I can walk, eat, brush my teeth, see, and do many other regular things with the help of Mestinon.
I do miss doing all the things I did before MG, but I won't take Prednisone or CellCept to try to get back to the person I was before MG. To tell you the truth, I don't like taking drugs at all and my doctor had to convince me to take the Mestinon.
I hope you are feeling better.
