I notice if I'm in a warm and dry place I don't get as much drippage but the cold and dampness around here is hard to hide from. I live in W.N.Y. The rain and snow has already started for the season.

As far as I know, sudafed contains pseudoepherine which can actually be beneficial for some MG patients. But, with your complicated medical history I would check it out with your neurologist/GP first.
