Results are in....MG it is
Just wanted to close the loop and let you all know that the EMG and antibody tests came back positive and were enough for a diagnosis. My Neuro prescribed 60mg of Mestinon three times a day and I just took my first dose.
I'm not sure how I feel about the diagnosis and the medication. On one hand I have a diagnosis and on the other is the fear of what the diagnosis will bring. I'm a pretty healthy 40-year-old working mom with a family. For 2.5 weeks I've had blurred vision and a droopy left eyelid. I do have moments of fatigue during the day but they are manageable. It concerned me and I went to see my optometrist, doctor, and neurologist. These appointments have happened quickly and for that I am grateful but I still struggle with what is next.
I am in the process of scheduling a follow-up with a neurologist who specializes in MG - he was actually the one that did my EMG. How often do you see your neurologists? What should I be looking for as I take the medicine?
Thank you for your help!
