I'm getting a muscle biopsy tomorrow. I'm a little nervous, but not too much.

I've had Myasthenia Gravis for almost 2 years. All my test results were negative, except my body has the perfect response to Mestinon. I am taking 180 mg 4 X's per day right now and it helps a lot. However, I still have some issues and get flare ups. My doctor believes I have a subclassification of MG called Slow Channel Syndrome. We're doing to biopsy to verify or modify that finding. In truth, I am actually looking forward to the procedure because I feel it will bring some answers and provide direction for future treatement.

Has anyone else had the muscle biopsy? I read some things online and it seems unpleasant, but do-able. In June I broke both the bones in my left forearm and that really hurt...that's my new level of tolerance comparison tool...I figure this procedure won't hurt more than breaking my arm, so I'll be fine.

How were you after the procedure in terms of you MG? Did your body produce a response to the anesthetic or anything like that? It's local, so I don't imagine there will be much kick back. I know I had a big reaction to the anasthetia when I broke my arm (not pleasant), but as you see I'm still alive. I am wondering if I'll be able to go back to work the next day or will I need to rest? Any suggestions? Knowing me I'll end up taking it easy regardless, but I would like to hear your feedback.
