Default negative tests

Have you had a single-fiber EMG? I have seronegative MG, I tested negative for antibodies as well as a regular EMG. The single-fiber EMG, considered the "gold standard" for diagnosing MG, tested positive. A neurologist does this test, but you might have to travel to get to one who can do it. I went to the University of Illinois at Chicago, 2.5 hours away because local neurologists either don't have the machine or the ability for such a specific test. Best wishes to you.

Not on paper. No paper, no problem. period.

I don't have MG, says the paper. I have MG-like eye symptoms that went away when I stopped (on doctor's orders) a medicine that is on the MG no-no list. So is it the medicine or the MG I don't have?

So just what specialist do I go to for a problem they say I cannot have because the lab papers say no?
