Macrobiotic isn't for me, but my diet does have similarities (was vegetarian for almost 3 decades, rarely eat meat/fish).

I suspect that I will be prescribed a cholinesterase inhibitor.

Myasthenia Gravis panel came back negative, but it is my understanding that it gives about 10-20% false positives.

We've already found one major interaction. I've had to stop Botox injections for first bite syndrome, as they are potentially fatal with MG. It is possible that I don't have MG, and that my symptoms are from the immunotherapy having some interaction with Botox, combined with choline deficiency and anorexia cachexia.
