Coffee is my favorite MG drug. It does me more good than Mestinon ever did. I think, too, in general, the recent consensus is that both coffee and dark chocolate have many health benefits, even for people without MG.

I have read here that coffee suppresses the enzyme that breaks down the chemical that our nerves use to communicate with our muscles--in other words, it works like Mestinon. It may be that, or it may just be the caffeine. Caffeine also dilates the bronchial tubes, for what that's worth (a couple of strong cups can ease an asthma attack).

I say, go for it! Of all the drugs that treat MG, coffee and chocolate are probably the safest.
