Well that answered your question. I'm glad you are doing better.
I don't think 30 mg would cut it for me. I only rarely have abdominal cramps.

Thats the first time I've ever had the abdominal cramps, but the Mestinon was the only thing I could relate it too, so it was worth a try.

When I first started taking Mestinon I was taking 30 mg 3x a day and then as things got worse we upped it to 60 mg 3x a day, but since my Thymectomy in may I have been starting to feel pretty good.

I was going to start by cutting back my IVIG from 3 days every 28 days to just 1 day a month and see how I felt, but I guess we will start by cutting back the Mestinon, maybe this is the first signs of remmission for me I can only hope and pray that it is

I think that the mestinon makes me more sensitive to other things. For example, I will be fine with the mestinon, but if I eat Mexican food or a salad, then I get gut trouble. Either of those food types are fine without the mestinon. It is the combination that kills me. I hope that this is a sign that you don't need so much drugs any more.
