Question Question for the group

Hi Everyone!
I am studying and researching MG. I have had some double vision, blurred vision in both eyes, eye drooping on left side, and falling episodes....wrist pain with typing and writing...My Family doc referred me to a neurologist..he had me walk in a straight line on my tippy toes, ....and I couldn't do it! I was scared that it was MS..but the MRI was normal, EMG was normal (no carpel tunnel either), and no antibodies were detected in the lab work...also, cat scan showed the the thymas was not enlarged....

The doc put me on pyridostigmine (60 MG three times a day)...My hands are swelling and my ankles are swelling....and my hands get so tired when I type. I have to take frequent breaks from typing.

In your experience are these normal symptons of MG? Can you still have MG if all tests are negative? The Doc says that all signs point to MG...I am searching for information...

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!!
