Medications
Does anyone have experience with medications that exacerbate their condition? I have congenital myasthenia which is genetic and not auto immune, so my experience is probably a bit different than most people here. I can't tolerate steroids or albuterol. Both were prescribed as myasthenia treatments but just made things worse. Recently my doctor switched me from metformin to farxiga to treat my diabetes. After a couple weeks I started feeling like I did on steroids or albuterol. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks for the info.
Here is a document of some of the cautionary drugs with MG: https://nebula.wsimg.com/903ebe2c701eb4e72e3211dc9fb9064e?AccessKeyId=7F50FBE19A111D19DDAC&disposition=0&alloworigin=1. As you mentioned, everyone with MG is different. There is a good percentage of individuals with MG who do not tolerate steroids. https://myasthenia-gravis.com/forums/toll-prednisone-took-on-your-body Are you currently on any MG treatments or interested in trying something new?
