Hi and Welcome!
I agree with everything Abby said.
I too had general symptoms with no eye symptoms (or so I thought). In my clinical exam, my neuro pointed out to me that my eyelids 'hung over the top part of my pupils'....well, they've been like that for a long time! lol. After taking Mestinon, eyelids don't hang...and the corners of my mouth don't hang down either.
My only point is I thought my initial symptoms were arms mostly. After my neuro exam (clinical), I found out eyes, mouth, eyelids, weak hips, legs were all involved. Ain't coping mechanisms a kick!
To this day, I have never tested positive for antibodies or outright failed a SFEMG. But I depend on Mestinon everyday...and very lucky for me, it's all I need - so far anyway!!
