Tracy, I had to read your post twice, and skim it again. While I am not a doctor of medicine, I can say with confidence that the majority in my region who present with clinical symptoms, and a positive blood test would not only be likely to get a diagnosis but would be on the list for a thymectomy. I can also say with confidence that it's unlikely that a person without a diagnosis, would get IVIG either, unless it's critical or the doctor is iffy.

You have a neuro who diagnosed you, but he won't do a thymectomy?

Did anyone look at your chest, either by x-ray or MRI?

I'm just not getting this...
