Default Demonstrate my own mini Tensilon test? For DX

If I see another neuro about MG then I plan to not take Mestinon for at least 24 hours beforehand, maybe 48. I consider it a big mistake that I took Mestinon last time, although I just think that doctor sucked anyway.

I'm thinking I could offer to demonstrate how much Mestinon helps my strength. If they are willing to give me enough minutes of their time. They could examine me and then leave for 20-40 mins while Mestinon takes effect, and come back and check me out. I think that would be like a mini Tensilon test because it benefits me enough and acts pretty fast on me since I'm sensitive.

One thing I can't decide is maybe I should go in extra tired. Like do some physical activity that morning and/or the day before. Muscles would appear weaker for sure. BUT if I do much physical activity then the Mestinon won't work much and I can't do Plan A. But that would probably be better if they were willing to give me real Tensilon, to see more contrast, see one of my weaker states.

Just wondering if anyone had comments on this.
