Default Double vision is back

My double vision is back!

I stopped taking my Prednisone (per doctor's schedule) on October 15. Was currently on 30mg of Mestinon x 3 daily and was doing great until yesterday. Oddly enough I was at our local MG support meeting when I noticed my double vision returning. Could barely make it home driving and had to keep my right eye closed. I immediately took a full tablet (60mg) of Mestinon and rested my eyes. It eventually got better and I took 60mg again about 11:00 pm. But this morning it's back. I originally started out taking 60mg x 3 when I was first diagnosed this past July along with 40mg of Prednisone. My neuro reduced the Mestinon dosage on September 23. I really don't want to start back on the Prednisone if I don't have to.

I cannot believe it is back just when we're getting ready to go away next week on vacation. My husband is going to think I don't want to go away with him. My symptoms first manifested back in July one week before we were scheduled for a 2 week cruise!

Guess I'll have to call the neuro tomorrow.
