Default My first AChR antibody test was Positive, 2nd one is Negative.
Can Mestinon affect whether or not your body produces AChR antibodies?

I had my first AChR antibody test in January 2014, it came back Positive and my Ocular-Neurologist diagnosed me with MG and gave me a prescription for Mestinon.

Last month, I switched to another Neurologist who specialiazes in Neuro Muscular Disorders.

She tested me for a bunch of other stuff Anti-CV2, Amphiphysin, Anti-Yo, Anti-Ho, Anti-Ri, MuSK, RyR, Titin, AChE, and --- AChR was one of the many on the list, so i got tested a second time by default.

I was surprised I tested AChR antibody Negative this time. My head is spinning.
