Short, short! I have to hold an eyelid open to read online. My ptosis, except the brief time it appeared when I was first diagnosed, is triggered by sunlight and reflected light. the gastric situation seems to have wiped out my mestinon schedule, and I am starting again at the low dose.; I do not now think the med was aggravating the gastroparesis.The ER did warn me of a potassium deficiency, which apparently produces symptoms somewhat similar to myasthenia. That can be remedied; I found I already had a nearly empty bottle of potassium, so one doctor or the other prescrbed it before. I am hopeful of getting into the new neuro soon; I have been to him before with a muscle problem--he's so good that he at all times has 60 people begging to be called if a cancellation makes an earlier appt. available. Oh--gastric pain was greatly aggravated by saliva and mucus going straight into the stomach; I suppose that was the excessive salivation without the drool. Mucous was an extra added attraction.

Yes--a straight shot to Charlotte. We were spending the afternoon there when my husband had a stroke. I drove up there, with my retarded daughter, for half of every week for 2 months back in 2000. But I have opted out of the drive to Greenville because I needed to use the eye patch. Driving that way on any roads except our back ones scares the living daylights out of me.
