The only reason it took 10 days because I already have Lupus and the specialist knew it was another disease

My symptoms started around age 12 and I was finally diagnosed with MG on my 27th birthday last week. I was started pyridostigmine and am on day 2 of taking it. What medication were you prescribed when diagnosed?
