Mestinon advice
 

So...I had an appointment with my GP today and he suspects I have MG and carotid sinus hypersensitivity (Jana - you're a genius! :)). He has suggested a trial of mestinon once he has consulted a neuro on safety measures. Do you have any idea whether there are any side effects to taking mestinon which may be dangerous to CSH?
Thanks for your thoughts :grouphug:

(Jana - you're a genius! :)). Hahahaha -- NOT even, but thanks!! I had syncope in my neuro's office one time -- and of course HAD to Google and try to figure out WHY! Came across vaso-vagal and the rest is history.

As for side effects, I'm thinking actually Mestinon "might" be beneficial. It helps with a handful of low blood pressure-type disorders, like POTS -- that can cause fainting. If I recall, it is only contraindicated in people with intestinal obstructive disorders and with certain types of urinary problems. Asthmatics are supposed to use with caution -- but, I've got asthma and haven't had any problems with Mestinon.

Hi Wild Cat,
Here I am in San Antonio, Tx, allergy capitol of the world, and I do have allergies. I take mestinon, and have never noticed any differences with my allergies. Unfortunatly, it does not help them either. Hope these notes may help you.
