    Thanks for your replies.  Because my MG is well controlled my neurologist has said I should have no problem with Cipro and Cephalexin.  Said to increase my Mestinon dosage for a while during the short treatment.

    None of these drugs.  My MG started when my doctor doubled my dosage of simvastatin from 40 to 80 mg/day.

    Here are two tricks that work for me although not particularly elegant.  I wear glasses when using my computer and sometimes have double vision.  Have found that I can correct it by bending the frame of glasses so they sit canted on my face.  In effect I am looking out of the top of the left lens and the bottom of the right.  Individual results may vary.  When I am driving and bothered by double vision the trick of rolling the head all the way back and/or dipping the chin works for me.  I can regain good vision with head in normal straight ahead position by rolling my eyes in a circular motion for a few seconds.  Seems to loosen up the eye muscles so they can operate normally.  Be sure to do this safely when driving.  As I said, not elegant but works for me.
