Myasthenia Gravis
"Mestinon helps everyone differently. I started out with ocular MG. Apparently, this drug helps most people with their ocular MG, but it doesn&#039;t do anything at all to improve my eye. My case of MG rapidly generalized, and difficulty breathing was my 2nd symptom to manifest. Mestinon improves my breathing issues somewhat, but doesn&#039;t take the shortness of breath away completely. Same with my arms and thighs; it helps, but doesn&#039;t make the weakness disappear altogether. Mestinon can cause diarrhea, but most likely won&#039;t if taken alongside a meal or with a small snack. It must be taken every 3-4 hours. Mestinon is one of the only drugs out there for MG with the least amount of unpleasant side effects."
