GAME CHANGER - Mestinon (pyridostigmine) is a prescription medication (primarily used to treat myasthenia gravis) and i've been on it for 6 months now. I have 60mg pills - started 1/4 of a pill twice a day for a week, then 1/2 a pill twice a day for a week and now i'm on 1 pill twice a day. My doctor from Columbia Pres in NYC prescribed this to me and would like me to stay on it for a bit longer. I couldn't do anything without a cfs crash before i started it, now i can clean my house, my brain fog is gone and both Sunday and Tuesday i walked over 8 miles. I was tired afterwards, but... would you be? I skipped a day of meds by accident (visiting a friend) and i was very very tired w/o doing much. I understand this doesn't help everyone, but it is LIFE CHANGING.

@akabarracuda - that is amazing that it is working for you. Have you noticed any side effects and does it help decrease muscle pain? I’ve gradually worked up to two 10 minute walks a day but I still have a lot of muscle aches. Have been trying to increase the amount I walk all summer, but it hasn’t happened.
