I am still around. lurking mostly. I went to a new neuro recently that gave me my MG diagnosis "back" (gee, thanks) and did some more fancy blood work that I was all normal with... hah...
I am going next month for a set of swallowing tests - the choking is really getting to me as I seem to choke more and more now, sometimes daily now. Going for the esophogal manomomatary and other tests - but I don't know what I said to the doc as he is doing the long version as well as other tests. Ugh.

Oddly, my mom got diagnosed with MG due to her wonky eyes, they gave her one (1) blood test, the achr test and a script to take 1/2 a mestinon pill every 4 hours. The blood test came back normal and the mestinon only gave her the runs - and since the dose was not high enough to help her eyes (duh!), they decided they do not know if she has MG now. She is off the pills and still cannot see.

I asked her to ask her doctors for the complete set of bloodwork at least, and to discuss more tests and she was mystified... and I said have you not paid any attention to anything that has happened to me in the past 2 years? tests, muscle biopsy, CT, EMG, SFEMG, etc? I guess not. I feel so...loved... She is in IL and I am in NJ so I guess once I hang up, she forgets everything.

I got a pair of tabby kittens. They were abandoned in a construction site - so they are keeping me busy.
