Stroke face? That's funny because when I first noticed it I thought maybe I'd had a mini stroke or Bell's Palsey. It reall did freak me out a bit. But I guess it is just weak muscles in the face. Picaso? LOL True. It does look as if I'll have to adjust my doseage somewhat.
Thanks for your reply!

A similar thing happens to me, both sides get droppy, but my left side gets way dropper...my mom calls it my stroke face...LOL...I think I look more like a Pacaso painting.
Don't worry about taking Mestinon. Work with your neuro to determine the right dosage, you'll definately know when you've reached the right dose because if you surpass what your body needs, then you'll get weak again. So that's your queue you're one dose too high.
I take 180 mg 4x's per day and experience no side effects. Of course, dosage is specific to each individual so don't try that much! It took about a year for us to work up to the correct dosage.
I am glad you are seeing improvements.
