I hope this is not seen as whining but I really need some advice today. After two weeks of plasmapheresis and prednisone now at 80MG every other day I was begining to feel better. I was stronger and my vision was clearing up. Yesterday things went down hill and I felt about the same as I did before my first treatment. I thought perhaps it was just a bad day but today is no better. I also thought perhaps it was a delayed reaction to my CT scan on Monday which I learned yesterday was normal.

As I said before my neuro wanted to wait on the mestinon but I am considering calling today and asking if he would consider starting it. I feel a bit short of breath when I move around a lot and chewing is now something that bothers me after a short time.

I know here I will get straight non sugar coated answers and I am prepared to hear what you people think my next step should be.
