Here is my
BIG pre-neuro appointment question for the day:
I can relate to just about all the symptoms I have read through on this forum the last 3 months. Someone here has already suggested looking into environmental toxicity.
IF that were to be the culprit then
might the following be true about
environmental toxicity?
1. Improves with Mestinon *
2. Fluctuating symptoms and remissions
3. Affects same sets of muscles as MG
4. Worsens with heat/improves with cold
We are doing some testing in the house. I´ve lived there for 20 years - also nothing ever happened until after I got pregnant/ got a virus/took antibiotics
* I don´t take Mestinon all the time but got really surprised it changed my vision so drastically with each dose taken.

I heard that congenital usually doesn´t respond to Mestinon which is what I use with good results. What you have is not congenital right? & if I remember correctly it took quite a while for your antibodies to´present themselves´.

I know what you mean! Believe it or not where I live it was so chilly that we wore scarves and gloves one day last week and on those few days I felt so asymptomatic that I thought about leaving the forum!!!
