I have a lot of muscle twitches. I am not sure if it is the MG or something else. Mestinon will cause them if your dosage is not exactly what your body wanted at that moment.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasciculation
Sorry, when I read about "twitches" or fasciculations, I always think about ALS. (Sadly, I've known some people who had this horrible disorder.) I don't want to scare you. It MOST likely IS the Mestinon. Check out the link. But, "sometimes" docs get MG and ALS confused. There have been cases where people with MG were misdiagnosed with ALS and visa versa. HOW were you diagnosed? Your Mestinon dose seems really high for a newbie. It really is MOST likely the Mestinon, I think.

yes!
Mestinon really helps with my double vision but can cause some twitching in my wrists and ankles. I learned a great tip HERE just a few weeks ago. Mestinon can help some muscles feel better but can over stimulate other musles that don't need any extra acetylcholine. So, now if my ankles get twitchy I just get up and walk around for 10-20 minutes and problem Solved! :-) Or if my wrists start to twitch I start doing stuff.... like house work, cooking, or laundry...lol. |

Every time I hear the letters "ALS" it gives me the heeby jeebies. I read that it is a rapidly progressive disease and that it causes severe muscle atrophy. I've been having this crap for at least three years and it is not all that much worse. I'm thinking that lets me off.
