Questions...please advise
Hi all. MG since 1997 (age 19). Had a thymectomy at that time. Complete remission until 2007. In 2007 I had double vision and drooping eyelid. Went onto Mestinon and symptoms left in about a month. Last month around New Years, I had strept throat and the flu within a week. Also ran a marathon around the same time. I believe it was the two illnesses and the physical stress that has brought it back again. It started off slow with drooping eyeslid, now I have severe double vision and strange feelings in my arms and legs.
Anyone ever go into remission again or does it stay with you forever? Can I exercise (run) while I have symptoms? Does rest help? I am on Mestinon now but does not seem to help. Should I consider prednisone? Are the side effects too much and should I just live with the double vision? I have heard THC is an Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor and have considered use. Anyone honestly have any success with THC for symptoms of double vision?
Thanks everyone.
