Mestinon doesn't seem to do anything for me. For a while I thought it did, but now I believe that was just the normal ups and downs of my illness. I have tried many, many experiments to see if I could get a boost out of it, either to prevent mild background weakness or to stop more acute spells, and nope.

Is there any reason to think that a different drug in the same class would work if Mestinon doesn't? I'm going to ask the Boston neuro when I see him tomorrow, but I was wondering if anyone here had a suggestion.
