Wow, Alice, really? You aren't a pulmonologist and from what my Pulmy has said, she's seen many patients who are quite calm. Even those with COPD.

I was super calm during my crisis. Relaxed even.

I'm not trying to offend you at all but that statement comes off as arrogant. You can't make an absolute statement about all people about anything.

And as far as "creatures," my first Shih Tzu had pulmonary hypertension and wanted to play, even though she couldn't breathe.

These prejudices don't help any of us while doctoring. Sorry but that's how I honestly think about it.

Seishin, You might not even have MG or LEMS. Your CK was elevated. Did you ever get a copy of that test or have someone determine which test it was? You could have polymyositis or some other disease. Don't try to get them to prove a disease, try to get them to help you figure out what is truly going on. I hope you do get some good help.
