Default update

I'm updating my last post to this sticky "your diagnosis" thread. I see I'm the only one here, but I think this is a good thing to do. I have found it helpful to read other people's stories, and get a sense of the variety of ways MG can affect you.

I am now diagnosed. I had three antibodies blood tests, all negative, and three SFEMGs. The first was "borderline" and the second was mildly abnormal. But what gave me the diagnosis was the third one, which was a stimulated SFEMG on my face (even though I have only very mild facial symptoms). This was done by a specialist in Boston. I am going to start Imuran soon.
