Had my follow up with Dr Franklin today. He says I am doing well and has approved my Italy trip. I leave Friday.

When I get back he will start tapering me off prednisone. I have been able to reduce my mestinon as well. He has also recommended a baseline pulmonary function test.

I am feeling so much better overall. I still have ocular symptoms daily but much less weakness elsewhere. YAY!! Hope this phase stays a while.

Thanks for all the encouragement gang!
