Default MG in senior citizens
I'd like to hear from other old folk who have MG. I am 89 and have had Mg for nabout 13 years. Started as ocular and advanced to general after having been given ciprofloxacin. I take 60 mg mestinon 5x a day, but it is not nearly enough. It takes about an hour to kick in and an hour to decline. So I dont get enough help from it. My neurologist wont increase it. I have also had cellcept and IVIg which I couldnt tolerate. My digestion is extremely sensative and it seems to be intolerant of vitamins.I need a suggestion for a good sleeping pill. I am extremely fatigued, and my eyes are not cooperative.
My husband who is 91 is one of my caretakers and he suffers from neuropathy in his feet. Elly
