That's how I was diagnosed with Ocular MG , taking Pyridostigmine ( generic for Mestinon) eye has opened and I was wearing prisoms since diagnosed in 2024 , now double vision is gone , don't know if its because I'm taking the meds or in remission , sometimes that can last a month or two then bam , I go to my Neurologist in June but right now I'm enjoying it , just wish I didn't have this wrinkle on my retina membrane it throws my balance off and makes me dizzy sometimes❤
Research your questions become your own advocate , not a lot of Neurologist know what we are going through , I follow the Myasthenia Warrior she is living with Myasthenia Gravis she has great tips , shes on fb.❤
