Default myasthenia gravis

I was looking for a little bit of information on mg ..I was just told that I have it...I am on 60mg of mestinon 3x day and 40 mg prednisone for 7 days then increase 10 mg a week until up to 80mg a day then 30 mg of prevacid for stomach ....I had my thymus out 3 years ago because there was a cancerous tumor , so they removed the thymus and tumor ....but ,,..it has been three years and I don't feel any better,.. I am still very weak and have triple vison all the time .My throat is always clogged with saliva and it won't go dowm and the throat muscles are weak...Another question ..!!! Has anyone experienced any side effects from a few drinks of alcohol with these meds..??And I mean,. "a few drinks"(three)..???

Hi Brenda,

welcome from a fellow MG'er, if you go to the mg forum, as in the link above, we will be happy to answer all your questions. It will be easier to go to the mg forum to ask your questions because all the mgers may not come here.
