Myasthenia Gravis

[Guest guest]

Does anyone here have Myasthenia Gravis?

I have many of the main symptoms and realise that this could be just

another side effect of my long term mercury poisoning.

However, I am interested in trying the anticholinesterase drugs as a

trial to see if they help with my extreme muscle weakness. I realise

this is a risky thing to do but compared with everthing else I am

doing here it doesn't seem so way out!

Has anyone any advice or experience with these drugs. Drugs such as

Neostigmine? Can anyone help me out with the connection between

cholinergic receptors, acetylcholine etc. I am so brain dead at the

moment and have just moved country so researching is on the back burner!

Thanks

I didn't have anything like it but have worked on and am aware of many cases of

people

who DO have " MG, " as in the symptoms and test results leading to a diagnosis of

it, whose

underlying condition causing the MG was mercury poisoning.

Less risky if you try low doses first, and before the drugs, try some choline

and lecithin.

See if those help at all.
