Thanks for the tip about the voice. It's a two-hour class, and although my voice is usually fine, it might get slurry towards the end. If it does, I'll tell the students it's their fault--they're not participating in the discussion enough.

Last spring I went to my son's senior breakfast (graduating from high school), and had a really weak spell. As my husband was dragging me out (not literally, more like half-carrying), the chaplain asked if my foot had fallen asleep, and my husband (who's a teacher at the school) explained that no, I was drunk. That was hilarious, given the context. It was easier to explain than the truth!

But I read about a nurse who was fired for being drunk while she was on-call. She wasn't drunk--she had MG and answered the phone sounding drunk. She sued and won. When I'm weak I walk drunk as well as talk drunk, which makes sense, because I understand that alcohol inhibits neurotransmission. Do you suppose Mestinon could be used to sober someone up?
