Hi and thank you for the speedy feedback.
A couple clarifications: I wouldn't classify the chest pain as 'severe'. It's been spotty & happening less frequently until I decided to switch to my left side while lying down. Then the chest pain was fluttering & more continuous, never getting above like a 4 on the pain scale. The first couple days, the pain was more in the center of my chest. On my left side, it felt as if the pain had also shifted to the left side of my chest.

At the E.R., they did the regular tests when a person shows up at the hospital complaining of chest pain & aspiration. So they did an EKG, an x-ray, took my blood pressure & whatever else that machine measures that you're hooked up to. They did blood chemistry test & O2 saturation test. The guy made sure I had pitting edema & shined a flashlight in my eyes. All of the regular E.R. machines registered me as 'normal'. When I described MG-specific tests not having been done, I was referring to arterial blood gas (ABG), MIP and MEP breathing tests, oximetry while walking &
clinical exam (unless pushing on my legs & shining a light in my eyes equals 'clinical exam'). In response to your question, my friend had driven me to the E.R.

Changes since Friday, my voice is becoming more normal. the urinary incontinence is less (thank friggin' god). My arms, hands, shoulders & neck are more strained, but I attribute that to having my arms crooked while holding the phone to my ear for long periods of time.

Unless I'm 'out-voiced' on this site, my decision is to sleep on my RIGHT side & wait until morning. I've already been dealing with this for two days at home after seeing the dimwit E.R. doctor on Friday. The suggestions for how to kowtow to the doctor is appreciated. I'll have to see if I can rein in my tongue. Alright, I hope I'm not making some big stupid mistake....
