they aren't expecting the other blood work(MUSK?) back from Athena labs until the first week in may. i sent a ct of my chest from an urgent care visit last month into my neuro that takes care of my migraines to see if he can visualize any issues with my thymus in the meantime . . .

but i seem to be getting worse. . .any other ideas??
You said "that one is negative". Did you mean those THREE are negative? (Binding, blocking, and modulating?) If they didn't run ALL three AChR antibody tests, they SHOULD!!
