Smile still awaiting a diagnosis but content with my new neuro :)

Hi everyone!

just thought id give you an update on how i went at my new neurologist. SO much happier with her! she actually listens to me! she's very efficient too! the day after my appointment she did a Nerve conduction study and a SFEMG on a non-weak muscle. (i previously had a SFEMG on a weak muscle-under my eye, but apparently the person who did it wasn't all that qualified). both tests came back negative but she hasn't ruled out mg just yet. she ordered more blood work as well to test for the various antibodies along with other things like thyroid dysfunction. by the time i see her next she'll have the bloods back and if they all come back negative and im still showing symptoms then she'll consider trialing me on some medication (mestinon i presume). I'm really pleased with how things went. I'm quite happy to wait a few more weeks and see how things pan out. i mean my symptoms are relatively mild. in fact im kind of use to what's going on with my body and im adapting to it. Or, maybe im getting better! who knows? im also getting use to all the waiting and have come to expect nothing less. Im just so relieved that i have found a neuro who i feel confident will help me regardless of whether a MG diagnosis is made or not. she's not just going to ship me off to a psychologist like my last neuro was planning to do.

Thanks for listening!!!

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the festive season.

Polly
