When I increased dosage in the beginning, I would have some temporary nausea and diarrhea. That doesn’t mean it never works for people outside of that subset, that just tends to be the most common group with positive results. Midodrine and Florinef did me dirty, so I was pleased to react well to Mestinon. My doctor told me to be on the lookout for muscle twitches and hypersalivation.
It is important to note that the symptoms burden was still significant although it was improved. In response to someone’s question about “why do I have venous pooling but cold feet”, Dr. Federowski explained that there is a dysregulation of normal reflexes, so there is vasoconstriction on the arterial side and vasodilation on the venous side. Dr. Furlan said you can buy or rent these devices in Europe. It is important to get a full autonomic workup to distinguish if there is any autonomic neuropathy.

In these workouts, you are supposed to keep your heart rate between 165-175 bpm or at a 5-8 on the RPE scale. The sessions are all in “Training Mode 1” which is either swimming, recumbent bike, or rowing machine. Luckily, the fevers peaked in the afternoon, so I was able to push through and exercise in the mornings. Month 3 of the Modified Levine Protocol has been awesome.

Further questioning from clinicians revealed progressive weakness affecting her legs, without changes in gait or stability. Her amyloidosis continues to be monitored by a local hematologist. The exams showed normal tendon reflexes, except for decreased ankle reflexes. Given the progressive nature of her symptoms affecting muscle response, the clinical team suspected myasthenia gravis – an autoimmune disease caused by impaired communication between nerves and muscles. Motor examination determined that she had normal strength in her neck muscles, but mild-to-moderate weakness in her arm and chest muscles.
