I am seronegative and EMG negative too, maybe I forgot to say that. And yes, I believe Mestinon affects mood, but doctors won't admit to it. I get plenty of rest and take vitamins. I think that helps.

Thank you for commenting. It took about 4 years to get a diagnosis. So I still question it and myself some days! But my symptoms fit for sure. I take vitamin D, B, and my doc recommended magnesium too. The getting rest part is tough! It's hard to explain to someone how MG fatigue isn't something you can just "nap away" The unbelievable, bone crushing sense of fatigue. I stopped walking even because I'd get part way and feel I wouldn't be able to get back! The mestinon is a huge help or I don't think I would be able to continue working for sure. On days I don't take it though I've noticed more depression that is debilitating on it's own.
