Default Possible Alternative Treatments?

I was diagnosed with MG about six years ago. At the time, I was prescribed one tablet of Mestinon every four hours or so. At the start of the diagnosis, my MG was very bad for about two years, getting to the point where if I missed more than one dose, I would not be able to hold my eyes open or chew or even swallow. After three years, however, my MG gradually got better and all that was left was the double vision, droopy eyelids, and occasional muscle weakness in my arms.

Several situations have occurred to my family, and I am no longer able to afford the doctor visits that I once had. It's even hard to go for a general checkup now and then, or even an emergency visit to the dentist. Doctor visits are very hard financially for us, and I haven't been able to go to the doctor in over two years. Even my insurance won't cover doctor visits. Since my MG had gotten so much better, however, it wasn't that big of a deal until recently.

Recently, my double vision has gotten worse. Previously, one of my eyes would shift to the left or to the right, causing everything to shift steadily. Recently, however, now it seems as if my eyes are constantly shifting. It has gotten to the point where it's very difficult for me to drive anywhere without having to refocus my eyes every few seconds.

I've been trying a Super-B Complex every day, hoping it would help. Now, my question is, was that a bad idea? And do you guys know of any other way to help my double vision/droopy eyelids? It's really difficult to function at work and on the road with all of this coming back.

Hope you guys can help! Thank you!
