I am intrigued by this!
- If those with a psychosomatic MG-like disorder get better with treatments that they donīt really need (take Mestinon for example)
Then how do they manage to counteract the physiological overdose side effects of a drug they never needed in the first place?!
- If the disorder also produces positive neurophysiological tests then yes, how can you tell which is which?
- In general is it really possible to inhabit the profile of a disease, itīs symptoms and progression so precisely without prior knowledge of its mechanisms and not actually have the disease?
- I wonder if those with somatization/functional type disorders resembling MG are actually being treated correctly for them -
Or is that asking too much when we already know that those with just physical MG symptoms can have a hard enough time
finding a good neuro these days!!!!!
Wishing everyone a wonderful day
