What was the first treatment your doctor prescribed for MG?

Initially I had the classic symptoms of MG-double vision and one droopy eyelid. I was diagnosed very quickly (about 3 weeks after double vision started) and have an amazing medical team. My neurologist started me with pyridostigmine. I started with 30mg 3 times a day, went up gradually to 120mg 3 or 4 times a day, and have now cut back to 90mg. My double vision went away after 3 weeks and hasn’t returned. I’ve since developed some other symptoms but for me the pyridostigmine definitely helps. I take a lactaid and some plain unflavored yogurt in the morning before my 1st dose and it helps a lot with the GI symptoms.

Mestinon

Prednisone 50 mg now 1 or 2 mg

I'm taking Pyridostigmine its helping open the eye , but I still have some double vision , not as much as I had when I first was diagnosed in 2024, it effects my right eye and on that eye I also have a wrinkle on my retina membrane that makes my vision blurry plus I have macular degeneration so a eye patch doesn't work for me I can't switch eyes because my vision is distorted, so I got prisoms that work great , I still have to rest my eyes if I use them a lot because they are very dry Neurologist want to try me on prednisone but my pcp told me to avoid it if I could because I have copd and when I have a flare up prednisone short term is what they use to treat it she said the more I take the larger dose I' all need and it has some pretty bad long term side effects.
