I periodically do research on new MG information and these two caught my eye, and brain. This first one basically says that even if you have ocular MG, you more than likely have generalized and they have a blood test to see if you do. Fascinating. Has anyone had this blood test done? I have to give a shout out to the city where some of my ancestors came from: Bergen, Norway. Way to go! Even though it's not "MG specific," it does seem to be one more piece of proof for MG.

This second one is a video from the Cleveland Clinic. They can figure out if you have MG by imaging your eyes! Wow. If only neurologists would see this as "proof." But then what of those myasthenics who don't have obvious ocular muscle involvement? Or do they? Why don't they do this test on those who have such a hard time with getting diagnosed?!!!

There are other MG videos on this page, some that are good and some that make me laugh. Neurologists really do take themselves way too seriously.
