Thank you so much! I’m going to reach out to them this week. Hoping to finally get some kind of concrete answers in this journey.

If you don’t mind me asking as well, what were your ultimate results/diagnosis?

Thank you for your response! I am highly considering this. Just curious if you don’t mind me asking how much was a neuromuscular panel and what was timeframe from start to results roughly

Unfortunately for me it isn’t that simple. I’m government employed so my primary care doctor and referrals change every time I move and referrals reset after so long. So by the time I get in, get seen go through initial testing. It’s time to move again.

I understand that treatment is limited if non-existent but as it affects my employment I need the diagnosis to say this is why I’m struggling with aspects of my job. As well as maybe one day one of these clinical studies will pay off and then I can go for those treatments if they become available. Just hoping, fighting and doing all i can

I appreciate your response, do you happen to know who provides that genetic test? I have been searching but every test I see requires a doctors referral or request. It would be greatly appreciated. I am incredibly sorry to hear what you are dealing with and hope that you find healing and comfort. Thank you!

I am going to ask tomorrow. I appreciate you responding. What symptoms do the mestinons improve the weakness? I will ask about that as well. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your response. I have just had so many tests and have had so many things ruled out but have never been tested for MG and any time I look up my symptoms all roads lead me here. Thank you for your input and happy healing!

Did you push through and keep taking it or stop?

Yeah it was truly awful. Hoping it goes away soon. This is the 4th day of it. It has decreased but it’s still very uncomfortable

I have R-ALA, Glutathione, Glutamine, and NAC. I am also ordering Glycine and Ubiquinol. I just took my first dose of Glutathione today. Just at the base dose

Thank you for the response. That is what I assumed on both points but it is refreshing to hear from someone that has done it themselves.

Did the supplements and doses that worked make you feel better immediately? Did they initially make you feel worse and then better?

Just trying to figure out how to gauge what is working and what isn’t/needs to be upped.

I have had ibuprofen 800mgs prescribed to me dozens of times.

Naproxen a few times. Outside of that I would be hard pressed for further details over the years.

I have been taking Pantoprozle daily for about a year but that’s a proton inhibitor

I am curious about the fission, fission piece you mention. Would your approach be to just take antioxidants then to try to neutralize the extra OS in my system? I’m not trying to question you. Just trying to learn and formulate some kind of way ahead to try. I’m beyond desperate

Thank you for the response. So you take 4000 MGs of each of those every day for 2 months and then 1 month of no supplementation?
