If you don't have and abnormal MRI, you don't have muscle atrophy, you have normal reflexes, myasthenia gravis is probably really high on the rule out list for a fatigable muscle weakness . I'm glad that you have an old school doctor that actually seems to know something about looking at patients and not just blood tests.

THANKS for this reply. Mestinon hasn't completely gotten rid of my eyelid droop either. I'm on 60mg X 4. It has greatly helped with my legs, arms, swallowing, and slurring my words.
