Default Wondering if it could be ALS

Hi everyone,

I am a 34 YO male and was diagnosed with MG about 5 months ago. For the Last year I have been experiencing MG symptoms starting with a weakening voice after 5 minutes, then fatigue when smiling, difficulty swallowing when tired, blurry vision though no observable diplopia, head droop in the afternoon, gradually leading to overall weakness by the end of the day. My anti-ACHR was what triggered the diagnosis it was at 54 (and the normal range is 0.0 - 0.4 I guess). My EMG was inconclusive due to the pain I experienced during the testing of my neck.

Mestinon appeared to work at first but I continue to have issues... Should I worry about ALS? Is MG a degenerative disorder? Sorry I am new to this and I am very worried...

Thanks
