Default Negative SFEMG but still have MG?

I have a friend in Europe who is negative on BOTH antibody tests -- negative on the EMG and SFEMG -- but, POSITIVE on the Tensilon test AND has great results with Mestinon -- she currently takes 10 tablets per day. She was a competitive tennis player and now runs a day care. She is seeing a highly respected Professor of Medicine -- he ran the SFEMG yesterday -- it was negative for the 2nd time -- and he told her that she did NOT have MG based on that result.

I think that he is wrong -- and she does, too. But, we need reports, journals, EVIDENCE for her to SHOW him. Can you tell me where to find some "hard" written proof?
