Thanks, everyone. I think what happened was last time he saw me during a good period. This time I came in with stories: how many times I hit the floor; how I needed my 12-year-old to get me to the car after the library; how I had to rest my arms between spoonfuls of soup; how I lean against a wall to rest and get stuck. Very specific things.

Last time my doctor agreed to test me a second time for AChR antibodies, and he said, "I just had a patient who tested negative and then positive." This time he agreed to test me a third time, and he said, "I just had a patient who tested negative twice, and then positive." I have some hope they'll find the antibodies this time...
