Default Mestinon and prednisone dosages
First visit to neurologists today. MG diagnosis by ophthalmologist from blood tests confirmed. Chest scan scheduled as well as muscle tests.

The medicines prescribed to start now have me concerned. Mestinon generic (Pryidostigmine) of 60 MG twice a day seems in line with others. First dosage today was not effective.

Prednisone generic dosage of 4 (20MG) tablets every day for 2 weeks, then 3 every day for 2 weeks, then 2 every day seems to not be in align with others on this board. The initial dosage of 80 MG per days seems high and ramping down instead of up seems to be contrary to others who have provided input.
To start Prednisone tomorrow.

Any comments from anyone.
