Constant Recurrence

I have still a hard time on occasionally right eyelid dropping, itching with astigmatism especially during driving, double vision is quite okay now after taking Prednisone 5 mg in addition to Mestinon 60 mg. Besides, my insomnia and allergy still lingering in the night, a hindrance trigger to my Optic Myasthenia Gravis.

What brand of cough medicines available for coughing that can be safe for Myasthenia Gravis? Is Acetylcysteine 600 mg for soluble mucolytic safe also for Myasthenia Gravis? I am taken Ascorbic Acid + Zinc + Cholecalciferol everyday.

Thank you so much for your time, help and advice with my Myasthenia Gravis.

  1. I'm really sorry to hear that you're dealing with these challenges. It sounds like you're going through quite a bit with your health, from the eyelid dropping and itching to managing your Myasthenia Gravis symptoms. Regarding cough medicines, it's always best to consult with your MG doctor first to ensure they’re safe for your specific situation, especially with Myasthenia Gravis. Some over-the-counter options might be appropriate, but a doctor can help pinpoint what’s best for you.
