Default Antibody levels

Djuna

Good morning. I have been told, repeatedly, by two MG specialists, that there is absolutely no correlation between the numeric value of a positive antibody test and the severity of the disease. I am an example of that...my initial results were abnormally high, went down somewhat after my trans sternal thymectomy, and 3 years later my numbers have quadrupled. But, my symptoms went away 2-3 weeks after my thymectomy and are still absent. Hope this helps.

Lisa
