Is this normal with OMG

I started having double vision episodes a year and a half ago. Neuro checked me for MG. Bloodwork was normal ace receptors, etc looked fine. Double vision worsened every day. No eye lid trouble and I can make the double vision go away if I rest but once I get up and do much of anything, I'm seeing double. Went to see a neuru optho and he said I think you have OMG you have all the symptoms. I've been on cellcept for about 6 months, 10 mg of prednisone, and 60mg of mestion 6 times a day. I still can't hardly do much of anything without double vision. Does this sound like anybody else? Could it be misdiagnosed or just not the right meds? Or is this just how it is? Thanks guys for any info!

  1. The meds sound right. Have you had a blood test for AChR-positive or MUsK antibodies? Treatment is a little different for each. That much Mestinon should be improving your vision, regardless. The Cellcept can take several months to be effective. I'd advise patience, I very much like your doctor's diagnosis and his/her approach. OMG can be quite persistent, but I'm betting you will improve soon. Best of luck, Charles. I have my fingers crossed for you.
