I tested positive on the antibody test after ptosis and double vision symptoms. I have had muscle weakness for years. My neurologists prescribed Mestinon 2x60 with a third dose if needed. Looking back he really did not suggest how to take it. He also prescribed prednisone 80MG a day going to 60 after 2 weeks, then after 40 after 2 more weeks. I go back to see him after 2 months (2 more weeks). Having read about both from this blog I knew Mestinon just treated symptoms and was temporary and pred may take a while to work and make things worse before they got better. With his agreement I took the Mestinon for 2 days before starting the Prednisone. It seemed to have no affect. After starting the Prednisone the Ptosis and double vision went away by the next day and has not returned but other symptoms have started (chewing issues, tightness across the chest, cramping in hands, severe cramps in legs) and others have become worse (weakness especially climbing stairs, shortness of breath). I have began to associate the cramping with the mestinon usage. I decided to see if Hiperzone A may be better. It appears that 3 pills is about the same as 60 MG of Mestinone. Today instead of Mestinon (I took the last dose last night) I took just one Hyperzine A tablet. With in about 15 minutes I broke out in a light sweat in an air conditioned room. It only lasted about 10 minutes and the weakness I in my legs may be a little less. I know not to mix it with Mestinon. Have anyone else had experience in this area?
