I'm trying to decide if I made the right decision last night. I was in bad shape and I wasn't sure what to do. Here's what happened. I will admit I pushed myself way too hard. I ended up in bed. I had a hard time moving my arms and legs, I didn't have enough energy to say more than a few words, and I had a hard time breathing. It was just hard to get air in and out. I was thinking that maybe we should go to the ER. I didn't even have time to get my Mestinon out before I had gone to sleep. I fell asleep so fast!! Does that mean anything? I mean it was so strange, it was as if someone knocked me out! I woke up two hours later, ate a bit and took some Mestinon. I was still weak, but had a bit more energy and could talk and breathe better.

I think if I would have woke up and still been feeling as bad as I did before I went to sleep I probably would have had my husband take me to the ER. Does the fact that I was some better when I woke up mean that I made the right decision by staying home?

I feel as if I'm alone as far as having a supportive medical team. As I've said before, my neuro is three hours away. I do have a supportive PCP who is the one who started me on Mestinon. I guess I could have called him. He is a very good doctor and he even takes care of his patients when they are in the hospital. I'm wondering if I should call him and tell him about this episode?

I am some better today, but I was in bed most of the day. It's so hard to sit still when I still have so much to get done before Christmas.

Thanks for any input.
