Abby,
You are not the only one who becomes a geek over charts and graphs.
They are helpful in seeing things, I find that same correlation between activity and symptoms, so other things too, but that and stess are my biggest MG symptom triggers.
As for me, I'd rather learn to live with MG that attempt any other drugs beyond Mestinon. I have a history of having bad reactions to drugs, so I avoid them as much as possible. These stronger drugs for MG need to be considered thoroughly to be sure that the benefits outweight the risks, for me the risks are not worth it. We are all different, I'm sure you will make the best decision for you, but do make sure to read in detail about all the risks of any drug before starting to take it. I wish the best for you.
