Beannie, I was surprised to read that you have not had a SFEMG. It's considered much more accurate for the diagnosis of MG than a regular EMG. Not every neurologist knows how to do one--you have to find a neuro who specializes in neuromuscular diseases.
SFEMG is the test for seronegative patients with symptoms that suggest myasthenia gravis. I hope you can have this test soon. Also, you say the "regular antibody test" was negative, and that you're waiting on other tests. Are they testing for other MG antibodies? They should test you for MuSK antibodies and LEMS, too.
