Cool new too

Welcome Lindsay

I am newly diagnosed also.(may 5) This forum has been so helpful to me. I spent some time reading through the old posts, I recommend you do it as well.

I am still struggling with my limitations and medications. I am on Mestinon 4 times a day, 60mg-30mg-30mg-60mg. I dont take any overnight so far. Everyone has to find their own unique dosage and schedule. I am also on prednisone 10 Mg. I was started at 20 Mg but had it reduced due to insomnia. I will start weaning off soon

The heat hasn't been as bad as I expected. It may be because I live in Fl. My biggest problem is stress. If I get the least bit stressed out for any reason, I am down for the next day or two. I mostly have diplopia and blurred vision, ptosis, slurred speech and neck weakness. Sometimes my legs get weak and I drag my foot.

Let us know how you are doing.
Sandy
