MemberBefore my first MG crisis June 2022 I very much enjoyed drinking. Typically bourbon and rarely to excess. I was diagnosed in 2013 with very mild symptoms, just drooping eye and a bit of vertigo. Prescribed mestinon and immediately went into remission. Same symptoms same results in 2019. Since the crisis I have stopped drinking with the exception on the very rare taste of a family member’s cocktail or wine. I have been tempted only rarely to try gingerly climbing back onto the wagon but the unknown risk factors are just too frightening. I will gladly forego drinking alcohol to avoid any more hospitalizations.
