I been on high doses of Preds for nearly 3 weeks and my speech is excellent, altogether if I talk to long it becomes a bit labored. I know I will probably lose some ground when reduced to maintenance levels, but any improvement is most welcomed.

I have had the tongue twitching, especially when I first started mestinon. But it settled down when I got used to mestinon. The other time I had it really bad was when I was in a crisis and the neurologist in ICU was having medical students look at my tongue because apparently, it was dancing a jig. At this time I was unable to even roll over in bed, speak clearly, etc.
