One thing about the steroids, I am 70 years young and the steroids caused me to spend 5 days in the hospital with diverticulitis so if you have a pre-existing condition DON'T take steroids. That said the steroids did help my vision.
Good Luck

Mike,
I am assuming that you have generalized MG as well as ocular symptoms? My doc did put me on prednisone, but just for 1 month. He was thinking I had SREAT (steroid responsive encephalopathy associated with autoimmune thyroiditis) since i also have hashimotos. The steroid make me feel WONDERFUL, but did nothing for my double vision. But I have also heard that often times it takes several months of steroid treatment to respond.
Thanks for your input
