2 weeks in I got a recommendation to see an eye doc, lucky for me he spouted of this MG thing that I had never heard of. Went to the hospital for the blood test immediately. An ER visit for trouble breathing and a few other doctors later that had no idea what they were doing I got word from my eye doctor that said I was positive for MG, 4x the accepted level.

So now I'm on mestinon 3-4 a day and just started the prednisone today after the mestinon did nothing for me. I have a ct scheduled for tomorrow of my thymus and my first neuro appointment in a few weeks.

That's all for today I guess.
predinsone can initially make MG worse. If you are already experiencing breathing difficulties it is important that you will be under close supervision. I would not wait a few weeks for the first neuro visit.
