Dear Pat, sorry to be late to reply to your answer, I had problems with my computer and I'm not technically savvy. I'm happy you found Huperzine as it one of the best treatment for MG. I knew about it as a brain supplement but recently discover it's benefit for MG. Unfortunately, it's not helping my memory, but it helps most of the symtoms just like Mestinon without the side effects. I think my brain was affected when I had acute respiratory failure during a crisis last March when I was intubated at the ICU. I have recovered well and fell good. I take Huperzine once or twice a day, 100 or 200mcg, the 200 doesn't feel that much stronger but may last longer. I still take a little Mestinon and trying to weane myself from prednisone. Huperzine is use in Chineese medicine for treating MG. Amazing that neurologists don't know about it. I also found some interesting information at Life Extension/Myasthenia Gravis. Like you, I prefer natural ways. I wish you many good days and remission soon.

Hi Micheline, i think you are right about having MG affect not only muscles but brain too because they all use the same chemical to function. I have done alot of research on what kind of natural supplements would help myasthemia gravis and almost all that have been found to help are products designed for brain health . I have been trying a supplement called huperzine. I take 100mcg in morn and night. Thats a small dose but i wanted to try it out. Im going up to two hundred dose in a while to see if it will work better yet. . It helps the body to stop the breakdown of the acetylcholine so you have more to work your muscles. According to info ive read on it , It is usually used for improving brain function but has proved itself useful for helping nerve function in MG also. I have only been on it about two weeks and feel a difference in muscle strength but also feel a difference starting in my mental clarity. I have also read that the supplement choline will help MG. It helps your body make more acetycholine. It too is a supplement for the brain but has been found to help people with MG.
Im not a dr , just a regular person who likes to find more natural ways of helping my body. So this is by no means professional advice. Just info i have found. And it works for me but you will have to make your own choices. Hope you have more good days than bad! Pat
