Just got over 3 days of the flu with high fever(102), headache and body aches. I had been doing pretty well overall, but now I am weak, have bad double vision and swollow/choke issues. I called my Neuro's office and was told that I could not increase my mestinon until I was seen by the doctor. I am currently on 60 Mg 4 times a day but it is not really helping me later in the day. I have an appt on Tues to see the PA.
I am a bit discouraged as I had been able to cut my mestinon down to 30 Mg 3 times a day. I had also tapered off prednisone 6 weeks ago. I don't know what the plan will be as I have also just been diagnosed with severe osteoprosis, so going back on prednisone wont be an option for me. I guess I thought I would be one of the mild MG cases. So many of you have been through so much. How do you do it? I am now only working 2 days a week and it takes days to recover. I don't really go out much anymore since I can barely drive and travel/vacation is impossible. I am seeing 4 doctors on a routine basis now. I never thought I would be this person. My life is getting smaller. And smaller. ![]() Sorry for the rant. My family is great but dont really understand what I'm going through. It is nice to know that you get it Sandy |
