Let me first say I was tested and cleared for peripheral artery or vein disease before being treated for lymphedema. Then two years later....

When dx'd with MG, neuro had noted my lymphedema history (legs) and swollen hands. Said the Mestinon would help. Expained the lymph system is supported by muscles. Weak muscles can't properly support lymphatics which can then allow lymph to build up.

I have not heard or read much about this. Can only tell you, my hands and legs slowly reduced until they were normal after six months or so of Mestinon. No more salt free diet necessary now....Yippee!

Any one else heard of a lymphedema connection with MG?
