I would love to read a profile of LRP4-antibody MG! I think I have read, for example, that people with MuSK antibodies tend to have a slightly different group of symptoms than people with AChR-antibodies (more neck and bulbar symptoms? I'm not sure).

I'm sero-negative, and my symptoms are somewhat atypical (my eyes are only very mildly affected, and heat doesn't bother me). I have been tested three times for AChR (and once for MuSK and LEMS), all negative. My best guess is that I have some other antibody. Maybe soon they'll figure out what typical LRP4 myasthenia looks like, and it will look like me.
