I'm curious if others have been prescribed prednisone for ocular mg. I've used Mestinon (sporadically) since March with little long-term change in my double vision. My neurologist has suggested trying prednisone at a high dose, (about 60 mg/day) for short-term use, to determine if that'll improve my double vision. If I get a response to that then the plan would be to start a longer-term immunosuppressant and wean the prednisone.

I am concerned about the side effects of prednisone (as well as Immuran and Cellcept) and am unsure how I would like to proceed. Any thoughts or experiences from others with OMG would be appreciated.
