Default How do you know if you are in crisis?

I was diagnosed with MG last Dec.

Now I am taking 60mg mestinon twice a day and 90 mgs of mestinon twice a day....they alternate every 4 hours. Plus Prednisone 20 mgs every day.

For the most part...I have been feeling ok. I can tell when the mestinon wears off.

Yesterday, I noticed that my neck hurts! it is like my head is super heavy. Plus the muscles around my rib cage also hurt and feels weak. When I cough or take a deep breath....it hurts. When I move my arms in certain positions...it hurts. And when I take a drink, I have to be careful in order for it "not to go down the wrong pipe".

So...this started me thinking...how do you know if you are about to or in crisis? are there any precursor symptoms?

I really hope I am just being paranoid...
