How were you diagnosed?
I'm new here and haven't been diagnosed with MG. Frankly, I'm not sure if I should be. But I've been having "spells" that no one can understand, diagnose, or treat, and I am lost as far as diagnosis is concerned. I have competing issues, so determining what is causing what seems virtually impossible. I've been getting a cardiac workup since I have a heart condition or two and a pacemaker, but the tests are coming back fine, so it seems like maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree. I also have autoimmune issues, but aside from antiphospholipid syndrome, we haven't been able to pinpoint an autoimmune cause of my symptoms.
Anyway, without belaboring my long and harrowing story, I wanted to know how many of those on this site who have official MG diagnoses have positive ACHR antibodies and/or if other criteria/tests were used to solidify the dx.
I am awaiting the antibody test results now, but I want to get a better handle on what they could mean when they arrive.
Thanks in advance!
