This morning I upped my morning dosage of mestinon to a full tablet (from 1/2
Tablet). I think I'll hold my afternoon dosage of mestinon to 1/2 tablet. In addition, I'll continue with 1/2 timespan before bedtime,
I'm very lucky that my neuro gave me the 'go ahead' to increase my dosage if necessary.
I guess one must not become complacent with this disease, for it seems it can change from day to day.
I'm considering applying for a disabled placard - are there any other MGer's out there that have placards? It's true that I won't always need one, but on those days that walking is difficult, a placard would be handy.
I welcome all imput. I feel like I'm flying blind most of the time

I have a disabled sticker. I also use an electric cart in a store if one is available. If not, I use my rollator. I know exactly what you mean when you say your legs feel like cement. Good luck getting your mestinon dosage right!
