Annie to the rescue!! I had an stress test with echo last fall when I was having bpspikes and tachycardia and they had to clear me for thymectomy surgery. It was normal but put me into runs of tachy to 160 after the test. Then my heart stayed at 120 for over 2 hours but then came down. A 26 day monitor showed normal sinus tach and a lot of it. They wanted a beta blocker which are relatively contraindicated in MG and I noted that mestinon seemed to control it. We still are using mestinon. I just found out this week, it might be working for me because it stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system to counterbalance the sympathetic action of the other going haywire. Neat!

They just found a few new lesions on my brain MRI a few weeks ago that could be migraine or a demylenating disease. I have a spinal tap tomorrow that I am not happy about : (

The ativan just makes me tired since I am not anxious but it is slowing the waves of breathing that were coming on and off a lot more often than they are now. The rest of the symptoms are still all there.

Not anemic. All bloodwork just checked and supposedly all good.

metabolic panels? Like what would that include? They have done so much...

I had an EMG for the numbness and tingling too (just the peripheral neuropathy) and that was negative. Neuro thinks it is more of a signal issue that permanent nerve damage. I also have numbness around my breasts and chin. The lumbar puncture may be telling...
