Wow, this is all new to me. I can't imagine having any sort of immunodeficiency, since I'm so resistant to germs. I never get a cold, and I'm also allergic to everything they tested me for. Besides possible MG, I have Graves', another autoimmune disease.

I see now that getting a firm diagnosis is extremely important, since I can't really be treated without one. So I hope that the new neuro will either know these subtleties or send me to someone who does. I also think I read that there's a third antibody they could test me for--ryanodine, right?

Now's the part where I patiently wait a month to get the next appointment....

I told my kids about what to do if I have a cholinergic crisis.
Kids: So how do we know whether to call an ambulance or not?!?!
Me: It's very simple: just ask me. If I can't answer, call an ambulance!
