My symptoms got worse 1 week before Christmas. I am thinking it may be due to the colder weather. Anyway, I am out on disability until June. I am holding tight until the neuro appt in 3 weeks. The chocking issues have subsided when he added the time release mestinon overnight.

I have had urinary incontinence issues prior to my next dose of mestinon. I have not had any of the GI sideeffects of the mestinon and I have been on it 3 months now. I had numerous bouts of diarrhea today after having a root beer soda. I will not ever drink a dark soda again. I think it is due to the phosphorus in the soda. Or could it react with the mestinon? Has anyone else had this reaction to dark soda?

thanks,
