I started off with symptoms similar to MG, but later found out that it was because I was too weak (sort of malnourished). I didnt test positive for the AhCR, nor the EMG for MG. After all the nourishment, when the weakness persisted, and spasticity and cramps came in, then was ALS suspected, and subsequently diagnosed.
Pardon me, but I do hope its MG and not ALS for you. I'll type more next time when I hav more energy~! lol..

Thanks Connie,
I stumbled across a statement while looking for info on the AchR test saying that the AchR level was positive in cases of myasthenia but also in some instances of ALS where MG might also be present, and therefor making a true diagnosis difficult. I am a bit worried as my symptoms are progressing even though I take all these meds, it's so frustrating
Stay well!
