I was diagnosed with MG a little over three years ago .... My symptoms have been relatively mild for the first 2 years ...Drooping eyelid , speech problems and some minor breathing and swallowing problems My neuro put me on 60Mg of Mestinon ..four times a day but I was doing well on just three .
However, in the past six months i've found that stress now has strong effect on my well being ...Causes speech problems and fatigue ...even minor stress now brings on symptoms ... I've bumped back up to 4 Mestinon /day .
Recently my problems with fatigue have really slowed me ...Raking leaves for ten minutes causes me to almost drag myself back inside , head drooping and very out of breath .
My neuro has recommended prednisone and maybe accompanying cellcept .. I read the threads in here about prednisone and the side effects and I've told him ..no ..not yet ..I know everyone's symptoms are different , but this fatigue is getting me . Can't even walk halfway across a Mall.
Looking for those with similar fatigue problems and any reccomendations
