Thanks for the great thoughts. I saw my neuro for one last visit before surgery yesterday, and it helped a lot, not nearly so apprehensive now. Have new mestinon dose number 15 I think, hehe.

Lois, I asked about timespan since you had mentioned it, but it only comes in 120 or 180mg, and even a half of that is waaaay too much for me, but he had some other suggestions.

After surgery I guess we'll try some new things, either prednisone, IVIG or Imuran or CellCept since my symptoms are intensifying a bit.

thanks, a good days to all!
