Well. I went to my appt today. Pretty much waited for 2 hrs just to go in and be told what tests she's ordering. She's checking potassium, magnesium, calcium, thyroid, acetylcholine antibodies and head/neck MRI. I have to go back in the morning to have the bloodwork done because the blood lady had already gone home by the time I got out.

She said she didn't think it would be MG because I don't wake up feeling "normal" in the morning and then just get worse toward the end of the day? I don't know. My mom (a nurse) said it doesn't always present that way and that it can be normal to have periods of worse/better that can last for weeks at a time like I do. Who knows?

The Dr even said something about the possibility of a "lump diagnosis" Fibromyalgia for when they don't know exactly what's going on... I don't know about anyone else, but I don't want a "lump diagnosis." Especially for a pain disorder when I rarely have any pain! Argh. I'm a mite bit frustrated right now.
