Thanks Annie, I'm sitting in the er now waiting. My nose is horribly stuffy and it's hard to breathe out of it, yet maybe a different infection. Oh well. I hope this time they can do something about it

When you have an "allergic" response, you also have a buildup of histamine. Steroids may not be a complete answer to what is going on. Can you take liquid Benadryl? Benadryl does the opposite of Mestinon and can make MG worse. Don't over do it on Benadryl! More is not always better. There are other drugs such as Atarax/Hydroxyzine which can help. You need a doctor to look at your overall health and what drugs you are taking, including supplements, before you know what you can or can't do!!!

Anything that gets worse after seeing a doctor means going back to see them again (to see if they can get it right or better).
