Well, a year ago, I developed right sided weakness. I started falling alot, like my leg would just give out. Sometimes my right eye couldnt even open because it was so tired. Went to a neuroligist, she wasnt sure what it was, so she sent me to another one. He did a SFEMG on my left side, which revealed nothing. So now he isnt so sure what I have. The drs just tell me they know that somethings wrong, that they just dont know what. Has anyone else dealt with anything like this?

thanks for listening

Hi Ina, welcome to the group.

While MG *could* be what is causing your problems there are other things that could too. Ask your doctors about the antibody blood tests - Achr (acetocholene receptor) and Musk antibodies. Did you ask why they did a SFEMG on your left when your problems are presenting right side primarily? My EMG was done left side when I had mine done too...but my symptoms present left side primarily.

I hope you find the answers you need. Best of luck.

Brian.
