I appreciate all of your help - please keep the info coming! My neuro's office called yesterday, and I am scheduled for a Tensilon test a week from today. I'm hoping there won't be any side effects from that, as we will be going out of town later that day.....

I have worked up to 1 1/2 tabs of Mestinon in the afternoon (per my doctor); I start taking 2 tabs today. It hasn't seemed to help the eyelid much - although I have noticed that it appears to be better the next morning - but I do think that I am noticing feeling slightly better in the evenings muscle-wise. Of course, that could just be a placebo-like reaction - who knows? The brain is a funny thing.....

I am hoping that being on a gluten-free diet the past 2 years has helped in some way. I guess I won't know for a few more months, but I'm sure that it can't hurt! As I said before, I had started feeling so good after eliminating gluten from my diet (I later discovered that I tested positive for a wheat allergy when I was 9 - go figure ....) - it would be nice to get back to feeling that way again -

Anyway, thank you all SO MUCH - I can't tell you how much hearing from all of you has helped my peace of mind!
