Annie,
The test was interesting - immediate "bad" feeling, but my eyelid went up. It's hard for the doc to assess me, because my eyelid isn't as bad as most of her patients' usually are (this was caught VERY early). However, she did say that since there was a definite change, and since I had a good response on the Mestinon, she is going to diagnose me with MG.

She is having me take the Mestinon (90mg) every 4-6 hours while awake, and see how it works. She also mentioned the possibility of taking the timed-release medication if I see improvement on a "consistent" dosage. I have been taking the Mestinon 3 times a day for the past 4-5 days, and it has definitely helped.

As far as the other test result, one of the SFEMG values was 3-4; the rest were 1-2. What that means exactly, I'm not sure; I'm assuming it is the number of "jumps" that were seen.
