There is one more thing you have to take into account.

If you are seronegative and have normal EMG results, the most important factor for you (in choosing your treating physician) is that this person "believes" there is such a thing as seronegative MG with a normal SFEMG.

The vast majority of the neurologists/MG experts (including those considered "best of the best") still believe that it is impossible to have MG with a normal SFEMG. ( I am saying believe because they have no scientific data to support this notion. It is based on unproven assumptions and extrapolations).

you don't want to go all the way across the country only to be told that you don't need any treatment as there is nothing physically wrong with you.

Also, many neurologists will be glad to promise you that with their treatment (and each of them have his/her favorite approach) you will go into complete remission and lead a completely normal life. The question is what have they got to base it on.
