Coffeegirl, How is it going? Did you get results back? I once heard an MG expert say that it takes an average of one year for a man to be diagnosed with MG and it takes an average of 7 for a woman to be. Can you say sexism?

I'm not a good example because I discovered I had ptosis in 3-2000, was diagnosed in 2-2001 and have had MG my entire life (since 1958).

Some people get diagnosed right away, especially if they have obvious antibodies.

Sue, Patients with ALS, for example, can temporarily respond to Mestinon. In the long-term, CMS, LEMS and MG are the only ones that obviously and profoundly respond to Mestinon. That's why a clinical diagnosis is so important with MG. MG has a classic presentation, even if some people are "atypical." MG is still all about fatigable muscle weakness.

Coffeegirl, I hope you do get answers soon.
