Has anyone else noticed an improvement in their MG symptoms with products containing pseudoephedrine, e.g Sufoded?

haven't taken sudafed since I have been sick, but coffee defintely makes me feel better as long as I dont over do it!

Ephedrine is an old time treatment for MG, back from the days before mestinon. Sudafed is technically "pseudo-ephedrine" which means "false" ephedrine, which works along the same lines.

It's not a coincidence that it makes you feel better and like everything else, it may not work for everyone.

That's so strange given that Mestinon does pretty much nothing for me! I wonder why ephedrine works miracles for me and Mestinon doesn't.... how odd.

That is interesting. I wish I knew the answer. I haven't used Sudafed in years.
