The key is whether or not someone with MG is stable. Even if it is, stuff happens.
Kathie, When you drive, you're using a lot of muscles at once, so it's more of a generalized weakness that follows. Also, you have to take double vision into consideration, if that's an issue for you. I hope someone will do the driving for you.
On a general note, when MG gets bad, it's like driving drunk. Response time is reduced and it's dangerous to be behind the wheel.
Whatever you decide, Sandy, just be safe.

Annie and Maurice thanks for the suggestions and warnings. I do have a pulse ox and peak flow meter. I have been doing really well on the mestinon but know I still have to watch it. I plan to get lots of written info together to take.
We are retired military and Aviano AFB is very nearby. They have a large military medical center. I am taking a short trip this weekend to "try my wings". I will be taking a 2 hr flight to see my son for Mother's day. This will help me decide about the longer trip to Italy.
