Sorry for the wrong phraseology... my bad :winky:

The ACE thing confusion is very common... don't fret about it.

There are many abbreviations in medical papers that are similarly confusing too. ;)

I think many here are used to this confusion, so no harm done!

You guys are wonderful. Thank you for the advice and telling me your stories with it. Ive been on it for almost a week. 2 1/2 pills a day right now but slowly increasing every couple of days (doctors suggestion).

Honestly right now, it hasnt done much. Im still very tired still with muscle fatigue and even pain now. Even with a changed diet and more rest. I get 9 hours a sleep a night (im also on nortriptylne) and have thrown out all my processed food for fresh/organic/healthy food.

Im hoping that as my doctor increases the meds, it will start helping.

Hi,

Could you please look conversation I started "New, searching help" and last posts, because I find something intresting about amitriptyline and its anticholinergig function. I dont have MG diagnosis and going to neurologist. But I had terrible side effects witch proggressivily increased in ½ year and my dose was only 10 mg to nights. Could this be a part of your problem?

Take care :)
