Treatment Question

thanks it certainly was . No more trouble with eyes but have had really bad muscle pain mainly with biceps and thighs, neck ,shoulders and upper back . I own ponies and inspite of the pain am able to feed ,fill haynets and muck out ..which is a big improvement ..need to rest in between jobs

hi the steroids I'm supposed to take 1 per day for seven days then 2 away and so on up to 12 away but I won't take that many and hopefully I will see an improvement b4 I get that far then ween of the mestinon tabs it's so frustrating how do you cope I've got holidays coming up abroad and don't know weather to go or not with this condition

Pyridostigmine (Mestinon) is used to improve various types of muscle weakness. Prednisone is often used to suppress your immune system (lowing the production of antibodies that enter the blood stream). It can take a bit of time before you start seeing any improvements if you are just starting off. As for me I've been on these 2 medications for 10 years and if I start to have a flare up It'll normally take me about 2+ weeks before I start to see any improvements. I do take prednisone and Mestinon in conjunction with monthly IVIG sessions. How long have you been taking these medications together? - Jazmin (team member)

I found that my eye sight returned to normal around 10 days after starting prydistmene in Dec 2022 and has stayed normal . I had double vision and migraine since November 2022
