Stellatum,

First off - hi and welcome!

From my first clinical exam, my neuro said MG before any testing. And I don't have obvious ptosis either! They gave me Mestinon - waited about 20 minutes - redid the complete clinical exam. Confident it was MG, tests were scheduled: antibody, SFEMG, respiration and a CT scan for thymus. I am sero neg and had a borderline SFEMG. Passed the others too.

After the tests came back - my neuro wasn't thrilled - but said a small per centage of MG patients have neg tests....but they still have MG.

I've been on Mestinon now for 8 months and have had to step up the dosage once already and probably again at my next appointment.

Hang in there! I was very lucky to have found the 'right' neuro on my second try!! Sometimes it's a long haul to get a dx when the tests don't cooperate - but keep at it.

Good luck - and keep us posted.

Sue
