After being diagnosed last September my neuro started me on Mestinon, which helped deal with the symptoms of MG and all seemed to be going well until this past May when I added Prednisone to the mix to deal with slurred speech and neck weakness isues.

I slowly ramped up to 40 mg / day of Pred and anywhere from 60-120 mg Mestinon every 3-4 hrs and for the past 4 months and felt better than I had since being diagnosed.

Unfortunately, the past few weeks I've gone downhill and am having issues with double vision in the morning and drooping of both eyelids on and off all day.

I'm wondering if more Prednisone would help? I've been fortunate in that the only side effect I've experienced is some mild acne. My neuro has been slow to respond to my requests for advice since a call to him last week so I'm just reaching out to others to see what your experience has been with increasing dosages and dealing with eye problems while I wait for his advice.

FYI, I'm 43, male in god health other than my MG.
