^{Diane G.}	^{First I was put on Mestinon 60 mg. 3 X daily. It didn't help the eyes at all and made a slight improvement in energy levels. Next the "old Neuro" put me on Prednisone, at my request, and I kept having to raise the levels until my "new Neuro" decided that it was time to move on to the next medication, Cellcept. He has had good results with Imuran and Cellcept and cited the cost as the big difference. He also said that Imuran has been in use for M.G. for 30 years or more. Cellcept is new and the official acceptance is still to come so it is considered experimental.}
^{Diane M.}	^{Prednisone, Imuran, Mestinon, Mestinon Timespan.}
