*I love coffee so much that I have to use big words like "anticholinesterase" to convince my family that I'm not just joking about how good for me coffee is.

I am not aware of coffee being an anticholinestrase. It does have a direct effect on the muscle more similar to theophyline or ventolin.
It is interesting that coffee works for you better then mestinon. Have you been tested for MuSK? or other antibodies?
