Hi. Welcome and thanks for posting. It's encouraging to hear another story of an eye doctor who is on the ball. Some of us had trouble getting a diagnosis until we saw neuro-ophthalmologists.

I'm sorry the Mestinon doesn't help you. It doesn't help me, either, but I have the impression that it helps most people here. I think you will see results from the Prednisone. There are other immuno-suppressant drugs (like Imuran) that are sometimes given along with the Prednisone after you're stabilized. The idea is that these drugs help you reduce the Prednisone dose.

It's great you're having a CT-scan. That should always be done when MG is diagnosed or suspected.

Please keep us posted, and feel free to ask any questions. I think it's unusual for MG to come on so suddenly and progress so quickly.
