When I turned 78, I received my first diagnosis of MG in August 2017. It took several years to settle down to three Mestinon per day with a 10 mg dose of prednisone every other day. In December 2019 my wife came down with a serious case of C-Diff and was quite ill myself going into the new year. I came down with something that was never diagnosed about the time the Covid virus started up big-time in our state. I should have been tested as my symptoms were off the charts.
When I felt better, I went ahead and received my Moderna shots in January and February 2021 with just some arm soreness for a few days. I received a Moderna third shot September 1st with very few symptoms.
Now that I’m 82 years old, I am following all of the protocols of masking indoors, staying out of crowds, pretty much living in my home and home office with my wife and ordering necessities online for home delivery. We both take zinc, vitamin D3, C, L-Lysine and multi-vitamins. The upshot of all this is we haven’t gotten sick or catch any other bugs since early 2020. If I forget to take an occasional Mestinon I may get some throat tightening when I swallow clear liquids.
