I'm happy with my neurologist, whom I saw today. Even with a negative antibodies test and a borderline SFEMG he told me my diagnosis is 80% established. He ordered the MuSK test, but told me that even if that's negative, it doesn't mean I don't have MG.

He also told me that since I also have Graves' Disease, we should consider Prednisone or CellCept in the hopes of putting me into remission--I guess having two auto-immune diseases makes me a good candidate. But if we can get my symptoms under control with the Mestinon alone, I doubt he'll be able to talk me into taking those drugs!!!

Anyway, he told me to take 4 60-mg pills per day instead of three, and said I can experiment with how they're spaced out.
