It certainly SOUNDS like MG - not everyone will test "positive" for MG; that's what's so frustrating about this disease!

One thing you might look at in tandem with possible MG is Celiac Disease/Gluten Sensitivity. While MG and CD are different conditions, if a person is sensitive to gluten and continues to consume it, it can make the symptoms of MG even worse.

There is lots of information out there about Celiac Disease - you will want to get tested for it before you take any action. A gluten-free diet for life will significantly improve the overall well-being of a person with gluten issues.

Don't let ANY doctor tell you this is psychological - that frustrates the heck out of me!

You might want to ask your neurologist if you can try a Mestinon trial - that should tell you pretty quick whether you are going down the right path to a diagnosis or not.
