Suggestions for ocular mg

I was diagnosed with ocular mg 5 years ago. Everything was under contro untill 6 months ago and I had a flare up, its still going on and my doctor cant figure it out. Increased my prednisone and that caused problems. Now trying to reduce it but my symptoms get worse. Droopy eyelids, blurry vision, I cant function. Anyone have any suggestions. Thank you.

  1. I am taking 60mg mestinon 4x a day and now reducing my prednisone to 20mg a day for 2 weeks then to 15 mg a day. I was told that ivig was to treat generalized mg and not ocular. This flare up started after I had 2 iron infusions because of low iron. If this continues I'll go to Pittsburgh Eye Institue.

    1. You don't say what other meds you are taking such as Pyridostigmine or have you done IVIG? These are two possibilities.
