Default Meds make you go from Pos to Neg?

I have a friend who was diagnosed with a positive blood test for AChR and clinical symptoms. I don't know if it was Modulating, Blinding, or Blocking -- she hasn't gotten her records, yet. She was started on IVIG and Cellcept -- already taking Prednisone for other things. Sometime later, she was given a SECOND blood test (not sure why) -- and it was negative. But, treatments continued. She has been having a bad reaction to IVIG -- so, was referred to a new neuro. This new neuro ordered more bloodwork and an RNS -- both were negative -- but, she is still on Cellcept and Prednisone. She has double vision, slurring, swallowing difficulty, fatigue.............classic MG symptoms.

My question --- is it possible to show up as NEGATIVE on bloodwork if you are on immunesuppressants like Cellcept? If so, can you tell me where I can find "proof" or give me links?

Thanks so MUCH!!
