Anyone here take Mestinon before they were diagnosed?
I am tired of feeling so poorly. I just got out of the shower and I'm worn out. I washed my hair and that did me in. I get very tired and a weak jaw while eating. If I talk too much it wears me out. I could go on and on, but I'm guessing most of you can relate.
Anyway, I'm wondering if Mestinon is safe, or even prescribed for those who aren't diagnosed? I have had a work up, although it's not been nearly complete and nothing concrete can be found. My muscle biospy shows some atrophy and a few other non specific changes.
Also, can an Opthamologist prescribe Mestinon? My eye doctor is the one who thought I had MG in the first place due to my droopy eyelid and fatiguing eye muscles (she had me look upward and then watch my eye droop). She said that was a sign for MG. My eyelid gets real droopy by the end of the day.
I appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
