I waited for my immunologist appointment at Duke and found that I had accidentally been scheduled with a rheumatologist, who told me that I needed an immunologist. They were not sure when I would be able to get an appointment. They did find that I have elevated IgA in combination with the IgG subclass 2 and 4 deficiencies.

Anyway, in the face of more waiting, my husband put me in the car and took me to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, where I have been waiting every day in the waiting room for a cancellation. There is still a line of people ahead of me.

I have been unable to find research correlations between immune deficiencies and AChR antibodies, except in the case of Good Syndrome (which would be very bad).

I have also been unable to find any cases of people who had positive AChR binding antibodies but were negative on the EMG.

If anyone could direct me to any such studies, I would be grateful.
