So I started Mesinon about 3 weeks ago at 120 mg, 60 mg 2 times a day. About 2 weeks into this, I come down with Bell's Palsy. Has this happened to anyone else?
Mestinon is used to treat Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune condition, which I don't have. Recently had blood work done and Dr said I had some high viral titres. Wonder if this drug "weakened"/modulated my immune system, which allowed Bell's Palsy to present itself?
Seeing better out of my eye, but my mouth is still messed up, and the eye area is not pretty, probably getting into the Drs today for follow up. Prednisone of 60 mg a day for a week is over today.
