Hi RavenC,

I've been going through tests from 3 different neuros for about six months now. I'm being treated for MG with Mestinon (which helps me immensely) but my blood work is normal for it so if it is MG it's 'seronegative'. I am still seeking diagnosis, especially after landing in the hospital last week with breathing problems.

To your question about weakness during neurological tests, I'm right there with you. And to your point about former lifestyles, I'm right there with you too. I was always into weightlifting, and as recently as 2010 I competed in a bodybuilding competition. It rocked!

I have no idea why I feel so weak, yet when I get to neuro exams they say "your strength is great". Come on! It's not. LISTEN TO ME, I want to tell them.

I used to hang out on this board but have moved over to the mg board at dailystrength.
