Hello everyone!

Cricket52,
I Hope you see this post. You mentioned that some MSers have negative MRIs. I had no idea that was possible! I was diagnosed with MG (myasthenia gravis) several years ago. However, my symptoms have escalated from muscle weakness in one leg/one hand to pain, muscle spasms, tremors and weakness in both legs and arms. I cannot stand and use a power wheelchair to get around now. My MRIs came back negative for lesions. So, my neuro is pushing for MG remedies - IVig or a thymectomy. At this point, I don't know what to do but my body is becoming weaker and weaker. Are there tests other than MRIs that can determine whether I am an MSer? Ive heard that it's possible to have both MS and MG at the same time. Has anyone heard anything about this?
