You are not alone.
Thanks so much for your reply. I really appreciate any info. I can get. As far as the heat, it makes me feel weak, sick to my stomach and I even get panicky because I can't breathe well. What specifically are you taking for medications etc. and do you feel you are doing as well as you could?
thanks, blondieslp

Default seronegative

I too am seronegative. All blood tests were normal, but diagnosed with generalized MG by SFEMG. I am on 90-120 of Mestinon daily and 30 prednisone. Mestinon alone worked for awhile, but then wasn't doing as well. Prednisone has been extremely helpful, despite shakiness and munchies. Over the last two weeks the doc tried to reduce the prednisone, trying to get me to a lower level by reducing 5 mg per month. I only made it two weeks on 25 before my pre-med symptoms returned. So now I'm back on 30 and working to get a thymectomy scheduled. You're not alone and I wish you the best in finding a good balance of meds.
