He has no clinical signs or symptoms of myasthenia gravis, he sees a neurologist regularly as well as an endocronologist and will see a pediatric rhuematologist next week. Ophthamologist said he does not see signs of mg. I have doctors that wonder why there are so many antibodies and what they can and will do and doctors who say they are just there and don't mean anything

I should also add that 12 years ago my exhusband, our sons father, was diagnosed with non treatment responsive hoshimotos encephalitis and still suffers from the disease. He also had anti- TPO and TG antibodies both showing <5000, positive GAD and ANA ab and titers.
