[QUOTE=wondergirl;691687]I'm sure there are some good MG specialists out there. Who would diagnose based on all that evidence. Did you try any that specialized in MG? I don't have nearly so much evidence.

I did get diagnosed with autonomic dysfunction which may help you a little bit.

Wondergirl, I don't know all your details but in researching my own issues while waiting for a diagnosis I see over and over that autonomic dysfunction is a hallmark of Lambert Eaton myasthenic syndrome, especially dry mouth, impaired sweating, and postural hypotension. LEMS is another autoimmune disease of the neuromuscular junction, even less well-known than MG. It affects release of acetylcholine rather than uptake. The results are much the same as with MG.
