I rather doubt that was a "false positive" you had!

It would probably be a good idea to consult with an MG expert. And they would probably redo the antibody tests (experts are odd that way, as if no one else's lab is as good). Do you know what lab ran the tests?

Even if you don't have an MG expert on a long-term basis, it's good to at least have a conversation about all of the possible variables of the disease.

In between doses of Mestinon, when I'm sleeping, I can have such bad calf cramps. It doesn't happen a lot and it all depends upon what I did the previous day. So it could be happening because you aren't being treated yet and your muscles are really weak. Or you could have an electrolyte imbalance (i.e., potassium). Do you drink enough water?

If they don't call you, give them a call!
