ICQ:

June 2000 had glandular fever, never really got better.

5 years of fatigue, batteries running out after a short walk, neck pain, eye pain, tightness in chest.

In a really good phase I mysteriously started seeing double, this led to my diagnosis in October 2005 of MG, as a result of an EMG test.

AChR negagive
MuSK negative
Thymus normal.

Drugs:
======

Currently take 60mg of mestinon first thing. Some days take another 60mg if I feel the need.

100mg of azathioprine daily.

20mg prednisone daily.

October 16th 2005 had 5 days of IvIg. Two weeks later I am feeling fit as flea. Droopy eyelid is much improved and double vision is a little better.

December 12th 2005 another 5 days of IvIg.

Living in Kildare, Ireland
