Default "borderline" SFEMG

I'm still in the "trying to get diagnosed" stage. I had a single-fiber EMG yesterday, which the doctors said was "borderline." So I'm waiting on the antibodies test, which takes a long time to come back. If that's negative, it will be really discouraging to me, since no one has any other ideas on what may be causing my symptoms.

They did the SFEMG on a muscle in my forearm. That's not a muscle that's been giving me trouble, and they got me at my "good" time of the day. I'm hoping that those are the reasons that the results weren't conclusive.

I have (so far) NO eye involvement--normal vision, no ptosis. I know that's unusual for MG. The muscles that are giving me trouble are in my legs and neck. I'm especially having trouble keeping my balance while walking.

I know that you all understand the frustration of the long process of trying to get a diagnosis. Any experiences you have with this sort of thing would be helpful. Thanks.
