Default Do I have it?

I am waiting for the antibody bloodwork to come back (it's been a week already) and I am very nervous after reading that great article posted on here about MG. All that stuff about fatigability fits me to a tee: I cannot hold my arms up or my legs, my eye droops, and the voice goes hoarse before counting to 50. Are these SURE signs or could it be something else? I also have intermittent swallowing issues but my main issue is leg weakness without pain that is VERY severe and will not resolve in 4 months. I have had an MRI and an EMG (not single fiber) and both were normal. . .

At this point, they are ready to do an MRI spine if the bloodwork is negative or call it hemiplegic migraine with prolonged aura if the MRI is clear.

any thoughts??
