Mike -
My understanding of the antibodies is that if you have them, then you have MG. It's a very specific test, and like Annie said, the range of normal is very low. However, there's really not a correlation that they've found between the level of antibodies and the severity of the disease. As for 7.65 being high...it's higher than the normal range from Mayo, which is .00 - .02. But, a couple of months ago when we sent my blood work to Mayo for testing, my antibodies came back somewhere just over 38. So, as for your question about whether the 7.65 is an indicator of anything, I think all they can say is that it's an indicator that you have MG, but not much more than that.
