Hi, Patricia! Sorry I'm just getting around to giving you a reply. I've been too busy to check my subcribed threads for new posts, and I think I must have overlooked the email notification of this one.
I was diagnosed in the mid-1970's. I went to my GP complaining of feeling tired and fatigued all of the time. He sent me for a sugar test to rule out diabetes or low blood sugar. When that came back normal, he set me up with an MG specialist in Indianapolis. My GP just happened to have another patient with MG, and had suspected MG from the beginning. The specialist diagnosed MG with a positive Tensilon, and varous strength tests, using machines that he had designed and had made to test the fatigability of the muscles. He was an older doctor, actually I think he retired in the 1980's.
How aggravating about the blood test.! Whether positive or negative, you have a right to know the results. And how can he say it was probably negative anyway. Has he seen the results?
Sometimes the ignorance of doctors, especially neuros, astonishes me.
Hugs,
