Thank you so much for your great answers. It really is reassuring to find a place like this where one can ask questions and have answers, good answers from people with real experiences. Thanks again!

On a new note, I have just heard from my brother who knew a man (No not a line from 'Sexy Beast') who had the same ocular symptoms as me. My brother has managed to track him down today in Italy and found out that after many of the usual problems trying to get diagnosed, was eventually diagnosed with MG and put on Prednisone 5mg/day. After 25 days his symptoms had completely cleared up. I believe this was about four years ago and he is still as right as rain. I have tried to telephone him to find out how long he was on the medication and as soon as I can get through to him I will post it here for anyone's information.

Maiden, I've since looked online again and seen that Mestinon doesn't work for everyone, so that looks like us two!

Brian, You're talking my language. Thanks for the ideas and your experiences.

Kev.
